Refund Transaction API
The Cancel Refund Transaction API (cancel_refund_transaction) can be used for the following purposes:
- Cancel a transaction that is in ‘auth’ state at the moment.
- Refund a transaction that is in a ‘captured’ state at the moment.
In this API, var1 is the Payu ID (mihpayid) of the transaction, var2 should contain the Token ID (unique token from the merchant), and var3 parameter should contain the amount which needs to be refunded.
