hello there
bitter fable
Hello, are you a developer here with an API question?
balmy karma
yes
bitter fable
Gotcha, how can I help?
balmy karma
let me give you mreo details
the problem is the following
we are a company with clients, in this case restaurants, each restaurant has it's own connected account.
So when the restaurant charges for a catering order, for example, we have a percentage of that transaction.
Let's say if they sell $1000, we get $30 and the biz gets $1970.
We also provide the feature to the biz to generate a refund.
The problem is that if the biz makes a refund for $100, on the connected account I see there is less money refunded from their account (which makes sense), for example $97 are refunded from their account.
Now I need a way to know effectevly how much money was refunded from their account (in this case the $97) via Stripe's API 'cause I need to save that information on our DB to show some numbers later. But I cannot find a way to get the final amount refunded from that connected account.
I checked the response from the Refund creation, but I only get the requested amount (in this case $100).
How can I get the real amount refunded by the biz?
Here is how we create the refund on our backend
refund = self.stripe.Refund.create(
payment_intent=invoice.stripe_paid_via_payment_intent_id,
amount=amount,
reason=self.RefundReason.REQUESTED_BY_CUSTOMER,
reverse_transfer=True,
expand=["charge"],
metadata={
"revi.refund.request.source": RefundSource.DASHBOARD,
},
)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? If you trigger a refund for $100 then that is how much is refunded.
Maybe if you provide a specific example we can look at that would help
balmy karma
sure
https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1FPDjbBD9A55uQT0/test/payments/py_1RMamBBD9A55uQT0oGCek1lw
Payment id: py_1RMamBBD9A55uQT0oGCek1lw
This is a payment with a refund. As you can see is for $1.940.00
But when I generated with the code I share before, I passed $2000.00 (in fact 200000 since it was in cents)
bitter fable
Ah you want to know how much was reversed from the Connected Account
Not the actual refund amount to the end-customer
balmy karma
exactly
bitter fable
Gotcha
So you want to retrieve the relevant PaymentIntent and expand its latest_charge.transfer -- then you can look at the amount_reversed for the associated Transfer: https://docs.stripe.com/api/transfers/object?api-version=2025-04-30.preview#transfer_object-amount_reversed
Oh actually you can do this right from the refund
No need to retrieve the PaymentIntent
balmy karma
that sounds interesting, how can I¨?
bitter fable
Just expand charge.transfer
Or
Just expand transfer_reversal: https://docs.stripe.com/api/refunds/object?api-version=2025-04-30.preview#refund_object-transfer_reversal
Both give you the same info overall
balmy karma
I will try
like this right?
refund = self.stripe.Refund.create( payment_intent=invoice.stripe_paid_via_payment_intent_id, amount=amount, reason=self.RefundReason.REQUESTED_BY_CUSTOMER, reverse_transfer=True, expand=["transfer_reversal"], metadata={ "revi.refund.request.source": RefundSource.DASHBOARD, }, )
bitter fable
Yep
balmy karma
you rock, it works
quick question
if they perform 2 refunds, on the same transaction. If I expand this field on the same way on both transaction, will I get the indiviual amount ($1.940) or in the second refund I will get the accumulated amount ($3.880)?
