Refund Track - Initial Proprosal Review

  • Before presenting baseline proposal, brief summary of the requirements context (TEF Business Requirements) is commented, as previous meeting only Ludovic Robert was able to attend.
    • Ludovic Robert also clarifies, after checking internally with business, that refund amount cannot exceed payment amount due to legal/fiscal reasons. @Ajit Raghavan shares the same view on that based on their experience.
  • Baseline Proposal:
    • New API
      • Resource Model based on having paymentId in the path: /payment/{paymentId}/refunds
        • Explained the proposal based on POST (refund creation) and GET (list of refunds), as it is the minimum needed to detail the model. Baseline proposal attached within Issue#104
          •  Pending to detail:
            • Endpoint to query details of a refund
            • Notification metadata model
            • Excepctions Management
        • Refund creation
          • Request model based on Payment API.
            • amountTransaction
              • paymentAmount to be renamed as refundAmount.
              • chargingMetaData not observed as needed in principle.
              • paymentDetails to be renamed as refundDetails.
            • type
              • Discussion around this concept. Ludovic Robert indicates probably when the refund is total there is no need to indicate the refundAmount by the merchant. In partial refund yes, it is needed. Pedro Diez Garcia also has doubts regarding this and will check with business. With regards to partial refund, there is the comment about how to manage the taxes. OPEN
          • Response model
            • Based on request model along with status of the procedure. Regarding status, so far are identified `processing`, `denied`, `succeeded`. Some discussion around `failed` status, but not considered so far.
            • In the same fashion as payment model, refundCreationDate and refundDate are defined.
        • List Of Refunds
          • Request Model
            • It is commented about the `access` scope of the refund procedure, indicating that the merchant (App - oAuth client) that performed the payment is the unique one allowed to perform the refund and consequently to query for refund(s) details. This statement is agreed by the WG.
            • Open discussion about how to deal in a 3-legged model, that is in the case the authorization is related to a user phone_number to which the payment was not involved. OPEN
            • Regarding filter criteria:
              • Basically same initial approach as in payment is proposed, with the difference of not considering merchantIdentifier (the payment is univocaly associated to a given merchant and the resource is modelled on a paymentId basis). WG seems reasonable this consideartion from the beginning.
              • Ludovic Robert initiates a thread for further investment/discussion regarding the consideration of service as input for filter criteria OPEN
          • Response Model
            • Same as refund creation
            • Added the concept of remainingBalance, understood in the way of remainingAmount of a given payment not refunded. Ludovic Robert comments the term can be ambigous and proposes to rename it to `remainingAmount` or other better wording. To be considered for the proposal
              • Both Ludovic Robert and @Ajit Raghavan prefers to model this information in a separate endpoint or even within payment model, as it is more consistent than having that object N times, each per potential refund associated to a given payment and harder to understood and interpret by an API cnsumer. Taking note of these comments by Pedro Diez Garcia as it is needed to be reviewed.
