Issue provisional credit

  • transactionUuid (string) — The transaction to credit.
  • amount.amountInCents (number) — Amount owed, in minor units.
  • amount.currency (string) — ISO 4217 code, for example CAD.
  • deadlineTimestamp (string) — Unix seconds. When the credit is due.

The amount is the disputed amount less any credit already issued and any merchant credit received. When a partial credit has been issued, the entry stays and the amount shows the remainder.

The entry only appears once credit is actually owed. Three conditions have to hold: the regulation covering the transaction has to require a credit, credit must not be locked on the dispute, and your grace period for issuing it has to have passed. A newly opened dispute showing no credit entry is normal.
