FAQ

Questions about Create Refund.

What does the Create Refund action do in Stripe?

Refunds a charge or payment intent, fully or partially, with optional reason. The processing fee is generally not returned on refunds.

What inputs does Create Refund require?

Create Refund has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Refund support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Refund inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Stripe's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
