You may get pending if you account has insufficient funds to cover the refund, and it would stay that way until your balance was sufficient, either from a top up or from payment you collect later

So will I always get a status of pending in that case? I'm thrown off by the word may.

It means the status of a Refund may be pending under some circumstances, like the one described above.

#

There are various scenarios that can apply, especially if Connect is involved.

@wet granite Ok thanks.

The exact wording on the page is
If Stripe can’t debit the remaining amount from your bank account, your refunds may go into a pending status . This seems to imply that it may not go into a status of pending even in this exact situation. So I have some doubts.

What are your doubts? Can you ask more specific questions?

#

What you are saying is that if we dont have the balance to do a refund, we will get a status of pending correct?

#

not may

wet granite Nov 10, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

No, I'm not saying that.

#

I'm saying it depends on your specific situation.
