What was the issue?

For IBE+ bookings where guests paid via RMS Pay, staff were unable to process refunds directly from within RMS (9+). Attempting to do so returned an error, leaving teams with no option but to manually intervene at the payment gateway level — a time-consuming workaround that also carried financial risk if not actioned promptly.

What's been fixed?

RMS Pay refunds for IBE+ bookings can now be processed directly from within the reservation in RMS, just as you'd expect. Both full refunds and partial refunds are supported. When a refund is submitted, it communicates with RMS Pay, returns the funds to the guest's original payment method, records the transaction in the reservation ledger, and updates the balance — all in one smooth step.

If a refund attempt fails at the gateway, the system will now correctly prevent the refund from being recorded, keep the original payment intact, and display an error message so your team knows what's happened.

What do you need to do?

Nothing — this fix is automatic. Refunds for RMS Pay transactions made through the new Booking Engine can now be processed directly from the reservation in RMS as normal.
