# Credit Card Refund Process
> To perform a credit card refund you will need the original transaction ID which you want to refund.
It is possible to do partial refunds. You can only refund an Accounts Receivable credit card transaction after it has been completed. You can do this through the API or the Portal.
### **Credit Card Refund through API:**
Considering you performed an Accounts Receivable Credit Card transaction which was successful and received a transaction ID (highlighted in yellow) in the response. Until the transaction succeeds, the **IsRefundable** flag will be False:
Transaction creation `API (POST): {{env}}/api/transaction`
**Accounts Receivable Credit Card Request:**
**Accounts Receivable Credit Card Response:**
Once the original transaction has settled, you can process refund for this transaction. (Note: Refunds can be processed anytime after the original transaction has been settled). Performing a refund for the above transaction:
**Credit Card Refund `API (POST): {{env}}/api/transaction/{transaction_id}/Refund`**
In the payload you will specify the amount:
`{`
`""Amount"": 9.99,`
`}`
If the amount you specify is less than the original transaction amount, it will be a partial refund.
