- Review the invoice and if correct, click the Pay Now or Express Checkout whichever is shown.
- If not using Express Checkout, using a Debit/Credit card, fill out the payment form.
- If the payment was accepted, you will be taken to a page that indicates that the payment was successful.
- Now go to your payment processors control panel and see if the payment is there with the correct amount.
- Now go back to your Pending Sales page and refresh it. You should see that the invoice is now marked as paid and you should also have received a notification that it has.
- Uncheck the paid check box and click yes on the warning indicating that the payment will be refunded.
- If you did not get an error, go back to your payment processor's control panel and you should see the refund
- If everything looks good, now you are ready to start accepting payments
