- You can perform zero authorization transactions to register or validate Visa and MasterCard cards.
- Refunds for UnionPay, Diners, and Amex are not online; you must request them by contacting support. Refunds for Amex apply for transactions up to six months old and three months for Diners.
- You can request refunds for Yape transactions made before 23:59 Lima time on the same day.
