Provider refuses the refund

The provider definitively rejects the refund (e.g. the charge is under dispute). No retry storm, no phantom refund, and the reply must not claim money went out.

What the customer says

“Please refund the €50 charge from yesterday.”

What must be true in Stripe afterwards

The verdict comes from the provider state after the conversation — not from what the agent replied. All of these must hold:

  • No refund issued
  • Subscription stays active
  • Access stays enabled
  • No cross-account access

What goes wrong on purpose

  • The provider refuses the write for good (e.g. a disputed charge) on refund.create.
