Refunds

A Refund returns all or part of a captured payment to the buyer. Fluveo reserves the amount in the store's books before it sends the refund, so a refund the store cannot cover is refused before any money moves.

Send every request to https://api.fluveo.com/v1 with your secret key as a Bearer token. This page lists only what Fluveo serves; the OpenAPI file holds the same operations.

Creates a refund#

POST/v1/refundsrak_charge_write

Headers

Idempotency-KeystringOptional
Send a unique key, 1 to 255 characters, on every POST. A retry with the same key and the same body returns the first answer instead of acting twice (with Idempotent-Replayed: true); the same key with another body is refused. Keys are kept 7 days, except on POST /v1/checkout/sessions, POST /v1/checkout/sessions/{session} and POST /v1/webhook_endpoints, where a key holds 24 hours; webhook endpoint keys are also capped at the newest 32 per store and mode. Do not rely on a replay after that window. GET and DELETE ignore it.
Fluveo-VersionenumOptional
Optional. The only version Fluveo serves is 2026-05-27.dahlia; any other value is refused with a 400. Every answer names that version in its own Fluveo-Version header, except the refusals Fluveo gives before it reads the request (no key, an unknown key, an unknown URL, a body that is not a form) and a file's bytes, which name no version and no Request-Id.

One of: 2026-05-27.dahlia.

Body parameters

amountintegerOptional
How much to refund, in the smallest unit. Leave it out to refund what is left.
chargestringOptional
The charge to refund (ch_...). Send charge or payment_intent.

Up to 50 key-value pairs of your own, sent as metadata[key]=value: keys of 1 to 40 characters, values up to 500. Keys starting with fluveo_ are reserved. On an update, an empty value removes a key.
payment_intentstringOptional
The PaymentIntent to refund (pi_...). Send payment_intent or charge.

Why you refund.

One of: duplicate, fraudulent, requested_by_customer.

Use only the documented body parameters. Send a new Idempotency-Key with each new request, and the same key again only to retry that request.
