# Refund Payment

`POST /refund/`

Create a refund for a payin. Only completed payins are eligible for refunds. 

A refund may still fail after being initially marked as `SUCCESS`; in such cases, you'll receive a callback with `status = FAILED`. 

To simulate a failed refund in the sandbox, create a payin with `amount = 101` (see the `Create Payment` endpoint for details).

To refund a deposit, use the `Create Refund` endpoint from Accounts.
