Handling of refunds w/ Alipay

[frosso]

Description

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/alipay#refunds

You can refund Alipay payments up to 90 days after the original payment. Refunds for Alipay payments are asynchronous and take up to 5 minutes to complete. Stripe notifies you of the final refund status using the refund.updated or refund.failed webhook event

We need to confirm the refunds functionality, once the payment method has been implemented.

Presumably we have some mechanism for "locking" a refunded payment so merchants aren’t just retrying the refund a thousand times when it doesn't go through right away?

When the refund has been processed via wp-admin > WooCommerce > Orders, it's not possible to refund more than the order amount. WooCommerce Core will block you from doing that.

Similarly, when doing a full refund via Payments > Transactions, the order will appear as refunded and it won't be possible to make additional refunds.

The status is correctly reflected in the Stripe dashboard.

I think we can close this.
