What is a Credit Memo?

A credit memo is a document that records value owed to a customer. In SettleWise, credit memos are created when:

  • A client cancels and receives a refund
  • A payment is rolled over to next season
  • You issue a courtesy credit
  • A balance is transferred between customers
