Key Points

  • The Refund API allows the merchant to reverse a transaction, sending the funds back to the customer’s payment method.

  • This API is typically used in scenarios such as order cancellations, product returns, or when a customer disputes a charge.

  • Refunds can be partial or full, depending on the amount specified in the refund request. If a partial amount is refunded, the remaining balance of the original transaction is still valid.
