Method: refund

Refunds a portion of or the entire transaction initiated through generateReferenceNumber. The combination of requestId within the header and paymentIntegratorAccountId is the idempotency key, which uniquely identifies this transaction.

If the endpoint encounters an error while processing the request, the response body from this endpoint should be of type ErrorResponse.

An example request looks like:


{
  "requestHeader": {
    "protocolVersion": {
      "major": 1,
      "minor": 0,
      "revision": 0
    },
    "requestId": "bWVyY2hhbnQgdHJhbnNhY3Rpb24gaWQ",
    "requestTimestamp": "1502223797000"

  "paymentIntegratorAccountId": "InvisiCashUSA_USD",
  "generateReferenceNumberRequestId": "aW50ZWdyYXRvciB0cmFuc2FjdGlvbiBpZA",
  "currencyCode": "USD",
  "refundAmount": "10000000",
  "pixEndToEndIdToRefund": "E28315987135981735987351",

}

An example response looks like:


{
  "responseHeader": {
    "responseTimestamp": "1481900013178"

OPTIONAL: Raw result of this refund. Used to help inform Google's risk engine and analytics. In decline code–mapping situations, data is sometimes lost. The integrator can choose to give Google a raw code. For example, a credit card gateway (the integrator) may use this field to communicate to Google the exact decline code that was received from the VISA network. In that case, the scope would be "visa" and the rawCode would be whatever the VISA network returned.

This value is required if the result is not SUCCESS.

Union field end_to_end_network_identifier. Identifier specific for a network. end_to_end_network_identifier can be only one of the following:
pixEndToEndId

Enums
UNKNOWN_RESULT Do not ever set this default value!
SUCCESS Successful refund.
NO_MONEY_LEFT_ON_TRANSACTION refundable-one-time-payment-code-v1.refund failed, there is no money left on the transaction. Typically this represents bug between the integrator and Google. Google should not ask to refund an amount greater than the original capture.
