Follow-On Refund {#payments-processing-basic-refund-intro}
==========================================================

This section provides the information you need in order to process a follow-on refund, which is linked to a capture or sale. You must request a follow-on refund within 180 days of the authorization or sale.
When your account is enabled for credit authorizations, also known as purchase return authorizations, `Cybersource` authenticates the card and customer during a follow-on refund or stand-alone credit request. Every credit request is automatically authorized.  
Credit authorization results are returned in these response fields:

* processorInformation.approvalCode
* processorInformation.networkTransactionId
* processorInformation.responseCode
  {#payments-processing-basic-refund-intro_d28e25}  
  When you request a void for a refund or credit before settlement, the refund or credit is voided. If your account is enabled for credit authorizations, the credit authorization is also reversed.
