PayPal - Refund Sale

See more PayPal Examples

Refunds a completed payment. Provide the sale_id in the URI and an empty JSON payload for a full refund. For partial refunds, you can include an amount.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Go

    success := false

    // Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Load our previously obtained access token. (see PayPal OAuth2 Access Token)
