Refund Payments and Reverse Transfer from a Linked Account

POST

/v1/payments/:id/refund

Click to copy

Use this endpoint to create refunds on a particular payment_id.

The amount is deducted from your main account balance when refunding a payment. You can set the reverse_all parameter to 1 in the refund POST request to recover the amount from the Linked Account. This will recover the amount for every transfer made on the payment before processing the refund to the customer.
You can automate reversals with the reverse_all parameter in the following refund scenarios:
- Full refund
- Partial refund for a payment transferred to a single account.

Watch Out!

For partial refunds on a payment transferred to multiple accounts, the reverse_all parameter cannot be applied since Curlec cannot determine which transfer to reverse partially. You will have to use the transfer reversal API to reverse this payment.

A new reversal entity is created internally and linked for every reversal defined by the transfer_id.
