# Refunds

## Refunds

* [POST /v2/payments/\{orderid}/refund](/api-reference/online-api/order-management/create-refund)

Perform a full refund or partial refunds based on your refund or cancellation policies.  The same Clearpay Payment ID can be used for multiple partial refunds.

Refunds can be used for:

* Full or partial order cancellation for the [direct capture payment flow](./api-calls-and-payment-flows#1-direct-capture-immediate-payment-flow)
* Returns
* Other scenarios where you want to issue funds back to the customer.

**Refunds cannot be issued after 120 days from the date of purchase.**

> **Warning**
>
> You can perform partial and full refunds up to the order total. i.e. You cannot refund more than the original order amount.

> **Error**
>
> Do not create refunds after 120 days from the date of purchase. All refund requests for orders 120 days or older will get rejected and return a 422 error.

> **Note**
>
> [Manual Refunds](./manual-refunds) can also be processed from the Clearpay Merchant Portal.
