Warning:

The "Refund" option transfers the money back. If you used returns inCounterpointwith Securepay,DO NOTdo both.

If you useFAC,you will need to do bothfor Magento and Counterpoint to both have a record of the return

Offline Refunds:

Offline refunds do not change the transaction or refund the customer, but will mark the transaction as refunded on the website. If you have credit memo emails enabled, they will receive a notification for their refund from the credit memo.

If you do a return in Counterpoint, and want to update the Magento Order status you should choose offline refund.
