Refunds are a challenge, as the Blockchain itself does not support them. To circumvent this issue, Bitcoin Swiss offers a process to handle refunds, via a different way.
If a refund is requested, Saferpay will forward this request to Bitcoin Swiss, which will then contact the payer, using the e-mail, which must be provided during the payment. The refund is then processed as a normal bank-transfer and not via the crypto currency.
Due to the fact, that this process takes time, every refund will first have the status PENDING, which will remain, until the refund has been processed correctly.
Once done, Saferpay will recieve a notification and change the status of the refund to CAPTURED.
Remember to reference the refund, not the original transaction, that has been refunded!
Refunds are generally executed normally, via the (or the ), as you would expect. However, while normal refunds either report an AUTHORIZED or CAPTURED status, WL Crypto Payments introduces a thrird status: PENDING.
To automatize this process, you first need to set the PendingNotification.NotifyUrl option, available for the . Once Saferpay recieves a status-update, the NotifyUrl will be called, enabling you to query the final status of the Refund.
The status of a WL Crypto Payments refund can be queried with the JSON API. The corresponding function is the .
This process is basically the same, as with the and follow the same rules.
