ChatFood Integrations allows you to connect your own Stripe account as a payment gateway for your Business, so you can receive card online paid orders from your customers and manage the card transactions and funds entirely on your own Stripe account.
Among other things, this allows you to:
Be in control of your order online payments;
Issue refunds directly from your Stripe dashboard;
Receive your funds directly without any intermediary.
💡 ChatFood integrates technically with Stripe, which means that your Stripe pricing, configuration, management, operation and support are entirely between you and Stripe.

How to refund orders
Refunding orders is possible inside your Stripe Dashboard.
🚨 Only Captured orders can be refunded. If your order is still open in your ChatFood dashboard, the payment has not been captured yet, just authorized. In this case, simply Cancel the order and the transaction will get voided. No refund is necessary then.
Go to Payments, find the order you want to refund by using the filters and initiate the refund by clicking the Refund button on the top-right corner. Then follow the steps from Stripe. Please note that ChatFood plays no part in the refund process.
