Why Does CS-Cart Show an Order as Processing After the Payment Was Refunded?

A refund can be recorded by the payment provider while the store order remains processing. Status mapping, delayed callbacks, partial refunds, or manual status changes can create inconsistent records.

What to check

Compare provider transaction and refund identifiers, order history, callback logs, payment status mapping, and whether the refund was partial or full. Verify the customer received the expected notification.

Recommended next step

Reconcile the order through the supported payment workflow and keep refund and fulfillment states distinct when needed. Test callback retries to avoid duplicate refunds or messages.
