# SEPA Refunds Export

Saferpay does offer the possibility to accept refunds for certain SEPA-based payment methods. However those need special attention. Reason being, that SEPA does not directly offer refunds, which is just in the nature of the payment-system itself. Due to this, Saferpay offers a workaround, to make manual SEPA-refunds easier for the merchant.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before this feature can be used, it must be activated under [**Settings > Processing**](/home/interfaces/backoffice/settings.md#processing)**.**
{% endhint %}

Each SEPA-based refund is filed into this special journal, where you -the merchant- can request an export of these transactions, by either selecting the transactions you want, or you simply export all the new refunds, that haven't been exported yet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.saferpay.com/home/interfaces/backoffice/transactions/sepa-refunds-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
