# Refund a payment

Refunds can be:

1. Issued in full.
2. Issued in multiple partial refunds, as long as the refunded amount is within the received payment amount.  **Only a single refund will be processed at a time.**

Funds will be refunded through the payment method that the payment was made by. 

**Parameters**

***

**refund\_amount\_in\_cents** required

A positive integer representing the amount to refund.  The amount must not exceed the remaining refundable amount.

#### Returns

#### POST /v1/payment-services/:payment\_service\_id/payments/:paymentId/refund
