Method: refundResultNotification

Notify Google of the result of a refund after a refund method call has been made.

Refunds should be handled synchronously during the refund method call, but this method provides Google with a fast backup signal in case the synchronous call fails after it has performed the action but before it can return a result. This avoids the delay introduced by Google scheduling a retry for a future time.

The refundResult value is idempotent for this refundRequestId, so it's value can not be changed by a subsequent call to this method.

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

Responses to this query may be empty if this method does not return an HTTP 200. The response body is empty in situations where an ErrorResponse with a clear description could be used to help an attacker understand the payment integrator account identifier of other integrators. In these situations, where either the signing key doesn't match, the payment integrator identifier was not found, or the encryption key was unknown, this method will return an HTTP 404 with an empty body. If the request signature could be verified, additional information regarding the error will be returned in the response body.

An example request looks like:


{
  "requestHeader": {
    "protocolVersion": {
      "major": 1,
      "minor": 1,
      "revision": 0
    },
    "requestId": "HsKv5pvtQKTtz7rdcw1YqE",
    "requestTimestamp": "1481855928301"
  },
  "paymentIntegratorAccountId": "InvisiCashUSA_USD",
  "refundRequestId": "hH1T32PI86CpKwjuf6oD2r",
  "paymentIntegratorRefundId": "invisi/Id::xx__1243",
  "refundResult": "SUCCESS"
}

An example response looks like:


{
  "responseHeader": {
    "responseTimestamp": "1481855928376"
  },
  "result": "SUCCESS"
}

}
Fields

RefundResultCode

The unique result codes refunds.

Enums
UNKNOWN_RESULT Do not ever set this default value!
SUCCESS Successful refund.
NO_MONEY_LEFT_ON_TRANSACTION 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.
ACCOUNT_CLOSED

The account held with the integrator has been closed.

Returning this value will cause the user's instrument to be closed with Google. The user will be forced to add a new instrument by going through the association flow again.
ACCOUNT_CLOSED_ACCOUNT_TAKEN_OVER

The user's account with the integrator has been closed, suspected account take over.

Returning this value will cause the user's instrument to be closed with Google. The user will be forced to add a new instrument by going through the association flow again.
ACCOUNT_CLOSED_FRAUD

The user's account held with the integrator has been closed because of fraud.

Returning this value will cause the user's instrument to be closed with Google. The user will be forced to add a new instrument by going through the association flow again.
ACCOUNT_ON_HOLD The user's account is currently on hold and cannot accept the refund, but the user's account may later be able to accept the refund. Google may request another refund in the future, but will do so with a new requestId, so this request should be considered finished.
REFUND_EXCEEDS_MAXIMUM_BALANCE The refund cannot be processed at the current time, because doing so would cause the user's balance to exceed the maximum allowed amount. Google may request another refund in the future, but will do so with a new requestId, so this request should be considered finished.
REFUND_WINDOW_EXCEEDED The refund cannot be processed because the request is outside of the allowed refund period.
