What roles are available within TouchNet?

Every store or site must have an active manager from the department. Each user in TouchNet can have multiple roles across stores and sites.

uStores have the following roles available:

  • Store Manager - full access, customization of the store and crea
  • Fulfiller with Cancel/Refund Rights - ability to fulfill orders and issue refunds
  • Accountant - view Marketplace financial reports for the store
  • Point of Sale Attendant - can make in-person transactions on the store with a TouchNet terminal. (Any store must have Point-of-Sale enabled to use this.)

uPay Sites have the following roles: 

  • Site Manager - full access, customization and refunding payments
  • Payment Clerk - search for payments, cancel/refund payment  
  • Accountant - view Marketplace financial reports for the uPay site - this role cannot refund payments

There are other roles available for the Payment Gateway and PayPath that are available for very active merchants. Please email pcihelp@uw.edu to ask about your eligibility.

Transaction Management

Why did a transaction fail?

The most common reason for a transaction to fail in TouchNet is if the billing address entered by the customer does not match that of the billing address of the credit card. Students using a card with their home address, but entering their university address, businesses using their office address when the billing address is at the finance office at a different address, or they have moved, and in the digital age of online statements, never bothered to update the address. 

If your customer has verified their address (particularly the zip code), and it's still failing, please contact pcihelp@uw.edu with your Merchant name or ID, and the time and date of the transaction attempt and Merchant Services can look up the error codes and determine the reason for that failure. 

How do I process a refund for a uStore?

Navigate to your Store in Marketplace and under the store is a menu selection 'Refunds'

Marketplace to Your Merchant to Your Store to Refunds

If you do not see this selection, you do not have the proper role to process a refund (Fulfiller with refund rights) - this is a specific role outside that of a store manager. Your store manager can assign this role to you under Users or you can email pcihelp@uw.edu with your Store or Merchant name for use to add it for you.

Once you have found the single order you wish to refund and select Refund from the Action column

On the next page you will find the refund page - you can refund a partial or full amount per product. Shipping may or may not be refunded in a field below, and you have the ability to attach a comment to the refund as a Refund Reason.

TouchNet has provided an excellent video on the Batch Refunding within stores: uCommerce 8.1 uStore Batch Refunding

How do I process a refund for a uPay site? 

You can process a refund for  uPay site if you are a Site Manager or Payment Clerk. If you do not hold this role, and do not see the Refunds option under the left nav under your uPay site, please email pcihelp@uw.edu with your Merchant or Site Name.

For a single payment refund, use the fields available to search for the payment you want to refund. Select Refund from action column and proceed through refund process
