Bitpay Gateway Refund Support

[will]

Are there any plans to add support for refunds to the Bitpay gateway?

[Tyson]

It sounds like BitPay doesn't support refunds except when manually requested as mentioned here and here.

 

Is there native refund support that can be accomplished automatically via the API that we're not aware of?

[will]

That's weird. Those pages do seem at odds with their API page; it looks like it's supported by their API. From https://bitpay.com/api 

 

/invoices/:invoiceId/refunds

Creates a refund request for the given invoice.

 

 

Response Name Type id

Refund request resource id

string requestDate

Time of API call

date status

Can be `pending`, `success`, or `failure`

string token

API token for invoice refund request resource

 

 

EDIT: It looks like it's a relatively recent addition to their API.

Interesting never knew they had a new API.

That may be something we can add then. CORE-1658

Refunds outside of the API require contacting their customer support by email and there's no shared login, so I'm assuming the primary account holder has to do it.
