If you are looking to cancel subscriptions, please visit the manage subscriptions page.
It’s currently not possible to create a credit note for an unpaid invoice, or
for an invoice not created by Hyperline.
As an alternative, you can provide a free top-up on your customer’s wallet,
which will be used to pay for future invoices.
Configuring your credit notes
Credit notes are generated manually or when you refund an invoice. You can customize the credit note template in the Settings > Invoicing section.
You have access to:
- The credit note number pattern
- The available variables are:

- The available variables are:
- The next credit note number. This is a read-only field that shows the next credit note that will be generated. If you want to update the value, please contact our support team.
- The credit note legal information. This field is optional.
- The additional credit note footer. This field is also optional.
By clicking on the globe on the right side of the text area, you can translate both the legal and additional information into multiple languages. The relevant language will be automatically selected when the credit note is generated.
Refund a paid invoice and issue a credit note
If you wish to refund an invoice that has already been paid:
Go to the Invoice section
Click on the invoice to refund. Note that only paid or partially paid invoices can be refunded.
Then click on Actions and choose Refund
Refunding a payment will initiate a new transaction to your customers’ default payment method and generate a credit note. This action cannot be undone.
Specify the amount to refund (partial or full refund)
Click on Refund to validate.
This will generate a credit note marked as paid. Credit notes appear in the invoice list in the Refund category.
Visualize your credit notes
To see your credit notes:
Go to Invoices
Filter the list by category

From there, you can download credits notes and/or see transactions on PSPs by clicking on the three-dots menu for each credit note.
