Overview

A Refund is a way to reduce the total amount owed on an account. This is often done to reverse the effect of a fee or charge.

How To Access

A refund can be created by POSTing to Create a refund for a specific account

{
    "effective_at": "2022-03-11T12:00:00-00:00",
    "original_amount_cents": 4200
}

This will create a line item of type REFUND on the account.

To get a list of refunds use the Get line items for a specific account. API and set the line_item_type query parameter to REFUND

GET https://example.com/accounts/AB-123/line_items?line_item_type=REFUND

This will return a paginated list of all refunds.
