Split a refund

Send split data in your refund request to support different refund scenarios, such as a partial and multiple partial refunds.

When sending split data on a refund request, you must:

• Only use balance accounts that were part of the original split.
• Use the same reference values from the original split.

For example, let's split a USD 10 payment with USD 2 going to your liable balance account and USD 8 going to account BA00000000000000000000003. The split data has reference values splitId_1 and splitId_1_commission.

Here is an example /payments request with a splits array.

The following example is the refund of the above payment if you split the refund with USD 5 from your liable balance account and USD 5 from account BA32272223222B5DHXHHG73VM. The refund must use the same reference values as the original split data in the payment request (splitId_1 and splitId_1_commission).

Here is an example /payments/paymentPspReference/refunds request where you provide the split data in the splits array:

A refund without split data uses the original information from the payment authorisation. Only leave the split data empty in the following conditions:

• The refund amount is the same as the authorised amount.
• The payment authorisation contained split data.
• You want to debit the amount based on the original split. If the payment authorisation did not have a split data, by default the full refund amount is debited from the liable balance account.

To split a refund using the original split data, send a refund request without any split information. The refund uses the split data from the authorisation, not the split data from a capture.

Here is an example /payments/paymentPspReference/refunds request where you don't provide the split data:
