# 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**](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/interfaces/settings#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.
