The Refund Status API for Split Payments provides a specialized mechanism for tracking refund statuses in split payment scenarios. It's designed for aggregator merchants who process payments divided among multiple recipients. Unlike the v1 API, this enhanced version provides complete visibility into parent-child transaction relationships, refund actions, and settlement details.

Request headers
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| date | The current date and time. For example, format of the date is Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:25:19 GMT. |
| authorization | The actual HMAC signature generated using the specified algorithm (sha512) and includes the hashed data. For more information, refer to authorization fields description. |
authorization fields description
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| username | Represents the username or identifier for the client or merchant, for example smsplus. |
| algorithm | Use SHA512 algorithm for hashing and send this as header value. |
| headers | Specifies which headers have been used in generating the hash, for example date. |
| signature | The HMAC signature generated using the specified algorithm. For more information, refer to hashing algorithm. |
hashing algorithm
You must hash the request parameters using the following hash logic:
Hash logic: sha512(`<Body data>` + '|' + date + '|' + merchant_secret)
Where <Body data> contains the request body posted with the request.
Sample header code
var merchant_key = 'smsplus';
var merchant_secret = 'izF09TlpX4ZOwmf9MvXijwYsBPUmxYHD';
// date
var date = new Date();
date = date.toUTCString();
// authorization
var authorization = getAuthHeader(date);
function getAuthHeader(date) {
var AUTH_TYPE = 'sha512';
var data = isEmpty(request['data']) ? "" : request['data'];
var hash_string = data + '|' + date + '|' + merchant_secret;
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA512(hash_string).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Hex);
return `hmac username="${merchant_key}", algorithm="${AUTH_TYPE}", headers="date", signature="${hash}"`;
}Request body
Note: At least one of the following parameters must be provided:
requestId,payuId, ortokenId.
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
requestIdconditional | String Array Array of request IDs for which the refund information is required. | ["11763053990", "11763053112"] |
payuIdconditional | String Array Array of PayU transaction IDs or PayU ID for which the refund information is required. Payu ID (mihpayuid) that you receive in the response for a successful payment transaction. | ["11763053990"] |
tokenIdconditional | String Array This parameter must contain the Token ID (unique token from the merchant) for the refund request. Token ID has to be generated at your end for each new refund request. It is an identifier for each new refund request which can be used for tracking it. It must be unique for every new refund request generated – otherwise the refund request would not be generated successfully. Token ID length should not be greater than 23 characters | ["TOKEN12345"] |
