payment.refunded
A specific charge is refunded, fully or partially.
Dispatch site not yet wired. Subscribe an endpoint now and deliveries will land automatically once the firing site ships.
When this fires
A per-payment refund settles. Pairs with subscription.refunded when the refund covers the entire subscription.
Required ability
project-subscription:view-any — token must carry this at mint time to subscribe an endpoint to this event.

Caveats
- DEFERRED — the dispatch site is not wired yet. Subscriptions taken now stay valid once it ships.
- Distinct from
subscription.refunded, which represents the subscription's reaction. A refund may emit onlypayment.refundedif the subscription itself is unaffected. - Partial refunds are represented by
amountbeing less than the original charge.
