Refunds

There are a couple of options to choose when issuing a refund using the Adobe Commerce API.

salesRefundInvoiceV1 service

With this service, you can initiate and process a refund based on an invoice ID, created using an online payment method.

The salesRefundInvoice service allows you to:

• Create a credit memo (complete or partial) for an invoice
• Add details about the refunded items to the order
• Change status and state of an order according to performed actions
• Notify a customer about the performed refund operation
• Designate whether the returned items are returned to stock

Endpoint

POST V1/invoice/:invoiceId/refund

data-variant=warning

data-slots=text

salesRefundOrderV1 service

This service performs the same operations as the salesRefundInvoiceV1 service, but based on an order ID. Use this service if the invoice was created using an offline payment method.

Endpoint

POST V1/order/:orderId/refund

data-variant=warning

data-slots=text

While we recommend you use the Refund services, Commerce also provides the following CreditmemoManagement services you can use to issue a credit:
