When a refund is initiated, the refund status will immediately reflect on the invoices and credit notes in Chargebee and the gateway is notified to process the refunds. Processing time may vary from gateway to gateway, generally between 3-5 business days. For any delays contact your gateway to know more about the refund process and timelines.

What happens when you Refund a transaction
The refund is tagged to a gateway transaction ID that you can refer to on your gateway platform
Chargebee marks the status as Success. (If the status is marked as In-progress contact your gateway. Possible reason - Insufficient funds in your account)
