Hello Charge objects refer to any charge from any payment method, so charge.regunded can work here. If you try this in test mode you should be able to see what that event looks like.
Do you know what doc you saw that we say that Charges only refer to card charges? I will make sure we fix that doc

[woven monolith]

I see. So, when payment_intent gets refunded through the Stripe dashboard, it will still fire that charge.refunded event?

I was mostly looking at https://docs.stripe.com/api/webhook_endpoints/create#create_webhook_endpoint-enabled_events

it isn't really clear that charge.rufunded can be used for payment_intent

having payment_intent specific evnets and charge specific events made me a bit confused that they are related

[still vale]

Yep, payment intents create charges. So events will often get triggered for both. Here only the charge event exists, but it will be created because the refund is being created on the payment intent's underlying charge

[woven monolith]

That's good to know. Thanks so much.

I have another webhook related question. Can a payment_intent be canceled through the dashboard? When I checked, it's not possible.

And this is a dashboard related question, but do you support creating a custom link for an existing payment_intent? I also tried, but I can only create a payment_link when I create a payment_intent through the dashboard.

[still vale]

I am 99% sure you can cancel via the dashboard but am not immediately seeing the button. I will confirm one way or the other and will get back to you

Unfortunately we don't support creating a payment link or checkout session for an existing PI

[woven monolith]

Thanks. Then, I guess it should be worth to create the webhook for canceling a PI to make sure I can account for it in my system.

[woven monolith]

So, there is no way for the user to make a payment for the existing PI without using the UI I am building (I am a service provider)

[still vale]

Not for the existing PI, but you can definitely cancel it via the API and then create a Checkout Session that makes a PI for the same amount

[woven monolith]

This makes me wondering if I should create webhooks for charge.succeeded as well as payment_intent.succeeded

[still vale]

Just one or the other should work. Both events will always get created for the same payment succeeding, so you only need to subscribe to one for your server to get the signal that the payment has succeeded

[woven monolith]

Cool. That's good to know.

Do you have the answer for canceling an existing PI through the dashboard?

[still vale]

From the dashboard, you can cancel payments when they have held funds but have not captured them yet. For all other states, only the API can capture them https://docs.stripe.com/refunds#cancel-payment

🤷

So it depends on your usecase

I am honestly a bit surprised by that but it is good to have a definitive answer from the docs

[woven monolith]

Yeah. That's good to know. Less thing to write in the code base haha.

Thanks for checking.

I really appreciate for the answers! Thanks a lot.

Of course, happy to help!
