POSTInitiate Refund

Refund a failed transaction to the customer after OTP consent.

POST/customer/payment/refund/{tid}

Moves money: Moves real money and cannot be undone. After a timeout, confirm the outcome before ever re-sending.

Refunds the e-value for a failed transaction back to your account, acting as consent that you have returned the cash to the customer. Requires the OTP (and otp_ref_id) from Get Refund OTP. Returns the financial response envelope with the refund transaction id and reversed amounts.
