Reimbursement Passwords

As a security measure, the Secure Payment application requires a password before processing reimbursement transactions. You can choose which password to require (Admin or Merchant) or you can disable passwords for reimbursements, depending on your preference. By default, refunds require the Admin password and voids require the Merchant password.
