Refund

The refund allows you to credit the customer, for example in case of returned goods or cancellation. To post a refund request, a valid transaction UID from a former Capture or Payment transaction is required. It is only possible to credit an amount less than or equal to the initial transaction using the same currency as with the original transaction. This feature also allows you to issue multiple partial refunds against an original transaction.


Request

To make a refund transaction, send a POST to https://demo-gateway.begateway.com/transactions/refunds with the following parameters:

amount * required
integer An amount to refund in minimal currency units, for example 1000 for $10.00.
