Refund API Operation
RefundRequest Message
214 August 7, 2012 Adaptive Payments Developer Guide
6. If the refund involves chained payments, PayPal first moves the money from the secondary
receiver to the primary, refunding the secondary's share back to the primary. PayPal then
attempts to refund the full amount from primary to buyer.
At this point, if the primary receiver’s account still does not have sufficient funds to cover
the refund, PayPal initiates a draft from the Primary's bank account to get enough money to
complete the refund. The bank draft is usually completed within a couple of days. At this
time, since the primary has enough funds in his account, PayPal completes the refund to the
buyer. If the bank draft fails, the refund request is cancelled.
NOTE: The Refund API operation does not support iACH.
RefundRequest Message
The refundRequest message specifies information about the refund and how it is to be
allocated to PayPal account holders.
