Create a refund

When you create a new refund, you must specify a Charge or a PaymentIntent object on which to create it.

Creating a new refund will refund a charge that has previously been created but not yet refunded. Funds will be refunded to the credit or debit card that was originally charged.

You can optionally refund only part of a charge. You can do so multiple times, until the entire charge has been refunded.

Once entirely refunded, a charge can’t be refunded again. This method will throw an error when called on an already-refunded charge, or when trying to refund more money than is left on a charge.

Parameters

amountinteger
A positive integer in the smallest currency unit representing how much of this charge to refund. Can refund only up to the remaining, unrefunded amount of the charge.

chargestring
The identifier of the charge to refund.

metadataDictionary
Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

payment_intentstring
The identifier of the PaymentIntent to refund.

reasonstring
String indicating the reason for the refund. If set, possible values are duplicate, fraudulent, and requested_by_customer. If you believe the charge to be fraudulent, specifying fraudulent as the reason will add the associated card and email to your block lists, and will also help us improve our fraud detection algorithms.

reverse_transferbooleanConnect only

Returns

Returns the Refund object if the refund succeeded. Throws an error if the Charge/PaymentIntent has already been refunded, or if an invalid identifier was provided.
