    • Direct API {refund}

    {refund} API function lets you refund the approved deposit transaction. The refund will be a new transaction sent to the same PSP as the one used for the original deposit transaction in order to send the same amount back to customer's account.

    {danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT #1: The original referenced transaction (see reference_id request parameter) has to be a deposit having the approved status.

    {danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT #2: Please make sure that the PSP supports the refund transaction type. If the refund amount is different from the original deposit amount, you will also need to confirm that the PSP supports the partial refunds.

    {danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT #3: Whether you are sending a refund in Atlas or via Direct API, the refund transaction currency has to match the processing currency of the original deposit being refunded.

    {danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT #4: The Direct API's Refund functionality does not require PCI certification. As this resource does not transmit card data, it eliminates the associated PCI compliance requirements.
