API integration

Refunds can be made both for the full amount of a split payment and for all or part of the amount of a separate subpayment included in it.

Interaction format:

Refund of the full amount of the split payment (full refund)

Peculiarities of using this integration to refund the full payment amount:

1. A request to the Financial Line API for a refund can only be applied to (purchase) or (capture) transactions with the successful (success) statuses.
2. Use the HTTP POST method.

Request parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
pos_id	UUID	✅	Merchant's identifier (POS_ID)
order_id	String	✅	Merchant's order identifier to be captured (max length is 32 characters)
currency	CURRENCY	✅	Currency of original order
refund_amount	Number	✅	Amount to be refunded. Must be a positive number. The number of decimal digits must be less than or equal to 2 (e.g., 100.00, 250, 50.50)
comment	String		Refund comment. Can be used for describing reasons of refund or for passing another data about operation (max length is 2048 characters)
server_url	URL		Webhook notification will be sent to this URL
split	Array[SplitPayment]	✅	Split payment properties

Refund of subpayment

If necessary, the full amount of the subpayment or a separate part of it can be refunded. To carry out such an operation, the request must contain the following additional parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
amount	Number	✅	Amount to be refunded.Must be a positive number. The number of decimal digits must be less than or equal to 2 (e.g., 100.00, 250, 50.50)
sub_merchant_id	UUID	✅	Unique Sub merchant identifier (to get the identifier, please contact support at support@finline.io)

caution

When refunding multiple sub-payments, the request must include information for each sub-merchant and the corresponding refund amount.

Next steps

To test the refund payment process:

• Carry out a ‘pre-authorization - capture’ payment combination using the authentication data of the test project.
• Initiate a secondary operation of refund for the above transaction.
• Configure webhooks.
• Use the test data to obtain different operation result codes.
• Handle received errors.

After completing the testing to go live, you need to make changes to the authentication data, using the data of the previously created live project.
