Create a refund - WooshPay OpenAPI

When you create a new refund, you must specify a PaymentIntent object on which to create it. Creating a new refund will refund a charge that has previously been created but not yet refunded. Funds will be refunded to the credit or debit card that was originally charged. You can optionally refund only part of a charge. You can do so multiple times, until the entire charge has been refunded.

Once entirely refunded, a charge can’t be refunded again. This method will return an error when called on an already-refunded charge, or when trying to refund more money than is left on a charge.
