Next steps:

To test the refund process:

  • Create a subscription for recurring payments using the authentication data of the test project.
  • Initiate a secondary operation of refund for a transaction within the subscription.
  • Configure webhooks.
  • Use the test data to obtain different operation result codes.
  • Handle received errors.

Going live:

Upon activation of the live project by our Compliance Team, use its authentication data instead of the one of the test project.
