Refunds

A Spree::Refund can be generated for any existing Spree::Payment object. Refunds can equal the full amount of a payment or just a part of the full payment.

If a refund is being created because of a customer return, then it should be associated with a Spree::Reimbursement.

Spree::Refund objects have the following attributes:

  • payment_id: The ID for the Spree::Payment that this refund is associated with.
  • amount: The amount that is being refunded to the payment.
  • transaction_id: A unique transaction ID. Note that this does not relate to a Spree model.
  • refund_reason_id: The ID for the Spree::RefundReason associated with this refund.
  • reimbursement_id: The ID for the Spree::Reimbursement associated with this refund. For more information, see the Reimbursements article.

Refund reasons

A Spree::RefundReason has the following attributes:

  • name: The descriptive name for the refund reason.
  • active: Set whether the refund reason is active and can be used.
  • mutable: Sets whether the name of the refund reason can be changed. For new Spree::RefundReasons, this is set to true.
  • code: An optional code for the refund reason.

Admin interface

From the solidus_backend interface, store administrators can generate refunds for a payment from the Payments page on an order. Then, they can use the Refund button to start creating a refund.
