Calls the gateway for Stripe/PayPal/PokPay; records an offline/manual refund for Paysera/COD/bank-transfer. Full refund → payment_status=refunded and order status=refunded (+ optional restock + affiliate clawback); partial → partially_refunded. VEN-24: refunds are for admin, manager and sales_manager only → 403 ``order.refund_forbidden``. VEN-27: ``restocked`` in the answer says whether the stock went back (only a full refund with ``restock`` does). ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.vellaro.io/openapi/admin.json post /api/v1/admin/orders/{order_id}/refunds openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Vellaro Admin API description: >- Store management under `/api/v1/admin`, for back ends and integrations.
