In-depth guide

Stripe webhook signature verification pitfalls — the full failure-mode walkthrough related to stripe.com, checked against official docs, with linked verified routes.

Steps

Find the PaymentIntent or Charge id (pi_... or ch_...)
POST /v1/refunds with payment_intent (or charge) and optional amount in cents
Check refund.status — 'succeeded' for cards is usually immediate; 'pending' for bank debits
Listen for charge.refunded webhook to confirm asynchronously

Known gotchas

Amount is in the smallest currency unit (cents) — passing dollars refunds 100x less than intended
Refunding a disputed charge fails; resolve the dispute first
Application fees are not returned unless refund_application_fee=true
