Hi all,
We're still using the old-school method of capturing payment on our website (POSTing data to "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" with a "cmd=_xclick" value). This works well for us, so we've had no urgency to switch over to a more modern method (e.g. invoking the Orders API endpoint).
After payment is made, we manage these transactions internally by grabbing the transaction details using the Sync API - again, this works well.
I've been looking into ways in which we can use an API to refund these payments, but have hit a brick wall. I have found none that will issue a refund anchored on the transaction ID, which is all I have (I don't have a sale ID or capture ID).
Is it possible to refund these types of payments using any kind of API PayPal offers?
Thanks for any help.
