DropPay API - Shop v.1 - POS - Refund

Every charge can be refunded up to its amount.

Warning

Only a merchant is authorized to refund a previously executed charge. So your application must act on behalf of the DropPay Business account owner who is the merchant party of the authorization that enabled the charge you want to refund.

Read Connection API reference first!

Refund your customer

In order to refund your customer you just POST a new Refund entity reffering a previously successful charge.

You can refund, only once, up to the referred charge amount.

For example if charge.amount was 100.00 you could set

    "amount": 54.72

in the refund request. Only the partial amount will be refunded to DropPay user.

REST Entities

Every REST entity is described listing her properties with the following formatting conventions:

  • this is a property name
  • this is an example of property value
  • (type, policy, direction) is the specification of a property
    • type can be "string", "number", "object" or a proper object class name
    • policy can be "optional" or "required"
    • direction can be "posted" or "received" depending on whether you set it in the request or you got it from the response
  • after the dash "-" there's the property description

name: example_value (type, policy, direction) - Property description
