Create a Refund

​

Creates a refund for a previously created payment. You must provide the payment_intent to refund.

By default, the refund returns funds to the original payment method. You can refund the full amount or provide a smaller amount for a partial refund.

You can create multiple partial refunds until the payment has been fully refunded. After the full amount has been refunded, additional refund attempts fail.

Refunds are visible on the related payment in the Merchant Dashboard.
