Cash Balance Transaction

Customers with certain payments enabled have a cash balance, representing funds that were paid by the customer to a merchant, but have not yet been allocated to a payment. Cash Balance Transactions represent when funds are moved into or out of this balance. This includes funding by the customer, allocation to payments, and refunds to the customer.
