Body

amount_money

The amount of money to refund.

This amount cannot be more than the total_money value of the payment minus the total amount of all previously completed refunds for this payment.

This amount must be specified in the smallest denomination of the applicable currency (for example, US dollar amounts are specified in cents). For more information, see Working with Monetary Amounts.

The currency code must match the currency associated with the business that is charging the card.

Money

idempotency_key

A unique string that identifies this RefundPayment request. The key can be any valid string but must be unique for every RefundPayment request.

Keys are limited to a max of 45 characters - however, the number of allowed characters might be less than 45, if multi-byte characters are used.

For more information, see Idempotency.

string

app_fee_money

The amount of money the developer contributes to help cover the refunded amount. This amount is specified in the smallest denomination of the applicable currency (for example, US dollar amounts are specified in cents).

The value cannot be more than the amount_money.

You can specify this parameter in a refund request only if the same parameter was also included when taking the payment. This is part of the application fee scenario the API supports. For more information, see Take Payments and Collect Fees.

To set this field, PAYMENTS_WRITE_ADDITIONAL_RECIPIENTS OAuth permission is required. For more information, see Permissions.

Money

payment_id

The unique ID of the payment being refunded. Must be provided and non-empty.

string

payment_version_token

Used for optimistic concurrency. This opaque token identifies the current Payment version that the caller expects. If the server has a different version of the Payment, the update fails and a response with a VERSION_MISMATCH error is returned. If the versions match, or the field is not provided, the refund proceeds as normal.

A description of the reason for the refund.
