Answer 3

Doing a refund in PayPal is straight forward if you follow the API documentation mentioned by Machine.

You may also find, if you prefer to save money, that you can Void a transaction in PayPal, before it is captured (usually before midnight on the day of the transaction), which is free.

I have found that always sending a void first, then if the void fails, sending the refund works well without much overhead.

Answer 5

From my understanding, you should use the Refund API.

• Refund using SOAP
• Refund using NVP
