Definition

Returning money to a customer for a payment they made — either in full or partially.

إعادة المال إلى عميل مقابل دفع قام به — كاملًا أو جزئيًا.

Why It Matters

Every marketplace needs a refund flow. A customer who can't get a refund for a failed service will dispute the charge — which is worse for the platform.

كل سوق يحتاج تدفق استرداد. العميل الذي لا يستطيع استرداد أموال مقابل خدمة فاشلة سيعترض على التحصيل — وهو أسوأ للمنصة.

Full Definition

A refund returns some or all of a charge back to the customer's payment method. Stripe processes refunds within 5-10 business days. Partial refunds return only a specified amount. Refunds can be triggered manually (admin action) or automatically (canceled subscription, policy). On Stripe Connect platforms, refunds affect both the customer charge and any payouts already made.
الاسترداد يُعيد بعض أو كل تحصيل إلى وسيلة دفع العميل. تعالج Stripe الاستردادات في غضون 5-10 أيام عمل. الاستردادات الجزئية تُعيد مبلغًا محددًا فقط. يمكن تشغيل الاستردادات يدويًا (إجراء مشرف) أو تلقائيًا (اشتراك ملغى وسياسة). في منصات Stripe Connect، تؤثر الاستردادات على كل من تحصيل العميل وأي مدفوعات تمت بالفعل.

Example Usage

“An order is canceled 10 minutes after placement. The backend calls stripe.refunds.create({ payment_intent: pi_xxx }) to automatically refund the customer.”

“يُلغى طلب بعد 10 دقائق من تقديمه. الخادم يستدعي stripe.refunds.create({ payment_intent: pi_xxx }) لاسترداد أموال العميل تلقائيًا.”
