Fields

Field
Type
Description
reasonForRefund
The enumeration value passed into this field indicates the reason for the refund. One of the defined enumeration values in the ReasonForRefundEnum type must be used.

This field is required, and it is highly recommended that sellers use the correct refund reason, especially in the case of a buyer-requested cancellation or 'buyer remorse' return to indicate that there was nothing wrong with the item(s) or with the shipment of the order.

Note: If issuing refunds for more than one order line item, keep in mind that the refund reason must be the same for each of the order line items. If the refund reason is different for one or more order line items in an order, the seller would need to make separate issueRefund calls, one for each refund reason.
comment
This free-text field allows the seller to clarify why the refund is being issued to the buyer.

refundItems
array of RefundItem
The refundItems array is only required if the seller is issuing a refund for one or more individual order line items in a multiple line item order. Otherwise, the seller just uses the orderLevelRefundAmount container to specify the amount of the refund for the entire order.
orderLevelRefundAmount
This container is used to specify the amount of the refund for the entire order. If a seller wants to issue a refund for an individual line item within a multiple line item order, the seller would use the refundItems array instead.
