Refunds calls to be successful, but not showing up in Shopify.

[PurpleMamba]

I'm creating refunds from my app for specific orders.

When I run the refund call, the refund seems to be successful in that it is shown as persisted. But when i check in Shopify the order is unchanged.

This is my refund call code:

            refund_calculation = ShopifyAPI::Refund.calculate({
              currency: "USD",
              notify: false,
              note: "Out of stock",
              shipping: { 
                "full_refund": false 
              },  
              refund_line_items: refund_line_items.map { |li|
                {
                  line_item_id: li.id,
                  quantity: li.quantity,
                  restock_type: 'no_restock',
                }
              },
            }, { 
                params: { order_id: shopify_order.id },
            })

            order_refund = ShopifyAPI::Refund.new({
              currency: "USD",
              notify: false,
              note: "Out of stock",
              shipping: { 
                "full_refund": false 
              },
              refund_line_items: refund_line_items.map { |li|
                {
                  line_item_id: li.id,
                  quantity: li.quantity,
                  restock_type: 'no_restock'
                }
              },
              transactions: refund_calculation.transactions.map { |tr|
                {
                  kind: "refund",
                  gateway: tr.gateway,
                  parent_id: tr.parent_id,
                  amount: tr.amount
                }
              },
            }, {
              params: { order_id: shopify_order.id }
            })

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the output of the refund call:

#<ShopifyAPI::Refund:0x0000561b935e4700
 @attributes=
  {"currency"=>"USD",
   "notify"=>false,
   "note"=>"Out of stock",
   "shipping"=>
    #<ShopifyAPI::Refund::Shipping:0x0000561b935e40c0
     @attributes={"full_refund"=>false},
     @persisted={:params=>{:order_id=>2528875905114}},
     @prefix_options={}>,
   "refund_line_items"=>
    [#<ShopifyAPI::Refund::RefundLineItem:0x0000561b935ef830
      @attributes=

        "quantity"=>1,
        "restock_type"=>"no_restock"},
      @persisted={:params=>{:order_id=>2528875905114}},
      @prefix_options={}>],
   "transactions"=>
    [#<ShopifyAPI::Transaction:0x0000561b935ef038
      @attributes=
       {"kind"=>"refund",
        "gateway"=>"shopify_payments",
        "parent_id"=>3161136562266,
        "amount"=>"11.72"},
      @persisted={:params=>{:order_id=>2528875905114}},
      @prefix_options={}>]},
 @persisted={:params=>{:order_id=>2528875905114}},
 @prefix_options={}>

It seems to show the refund was persisted, but nothing shows up in Shopify.

I found the issue.

I had to specify the order id as a prefix_option and explicitly save the record.

Like this:

# Create refund on Shopify
order_refund = ShopifyAPI::Refund.new({
  currency: "USD",
  notify: false,
  note: "Out of stock",
  shipping: { 
    "full_refund": false 
  },
  refund_line_items: refund_line_items.map { |li|
    {
      line_item_id: li.id,
      quantity: li.quantity,
      restock_type: 'cancel'
    }
  },
  transactions: refund_calculation.transactions.map { |tr|
    {
      kind: "refund",
      gateway: tr.gateway,
      parent_id: tr.parent_id,
      amount: tr.amount
    }
  },
}, {
  params: { order_id: shopify_order.id }
})
order_refund.prefix_options = { order_id: shopify_order.id }
order_refund.save
