Body
Transaction ID based and Instant refund
Note
Instant Refund:
This API supports refunds for only JUSPAY orders, which are paid through cards and card details stored.
The API retrieves card details from the card vault from the order_id/txn_id passed in the refund request and attempt a payout on that card.
NON_JUSPAY orders and payment methods as NB, are not supported through this API, currently.
To enable Instant refunds, you will need to configure the MORPHEUS gateway from the Juspay dashboard. Please get in touch with global@juspay.in to get the credentials.
Please set Instant refund to TRUE from the Settings section of the Juspay dashboard.
