Status Flow

Refund Status Flow

1. DECLINED is not a status by itself. It means the refund failed to be created.

2. As soon as the refund request is created, its status will be PENDING.

3. In case we need more information to complete the request or any of the details were incorrect, we will change the status to INCORRECT_DETAILS and you will need to provide the correct details. Once the details have been provided, its status will be PENDING again.

4. The status CANCELLED means the refund was manually cancelled by you. Only refunds in PENDING or INCORRECT_DETAILS can be cancelled. Final status.

5. If everything is fine we will send the refund for processing and the status will be marked as DELIVERED. It can't be cancelled at this point.

6. As soon as the processor/bank confirms the refund, it will be marked as COMPLETED or REJECTED (by the bank).

7. There are some corner cases in which the receiver's bank tell us that the refund was completed but days after it gets rejected. In those cases the status changes from COMPLETED to REJECTED.
