# Refund Payments

A sale is a completed payment. A captured payment is an authorized and captured payment. You can refund both sales and captured payments.

There are two types of refunds you might need to process:

  1. Full refund A full refund returns the total amount of the transaction to the customer — it can only be performed once.

  2. Partial refund A partial refund returns a sum less than the captured amount. A payment can be refunded multiple times, but cannot exceed the original payment amount.

TIP

  • Refunds can be made in via the Dashboard or by using this API endpoint . Once processed, it is not possible to cancel a refund.
  • Any refunds for less than the original captured amount will be considered partial refunds.
