v1.0 | 29.05.2025 | Bogomil | First publish |
The purpose of this page is to describe in details the refund flow on MIRAKL.
The refund/cancellation request on MIRAKL is per item line id and we can include each separate item as additional “refund“ or “cancellation“ node. To process the refund/cancellation , we have to specify a reason which need to be added in the Refund UI for BestBuy Marketplace. In order to obtain the reasons, we should use GET RE01 - List reasons call and then, to make a refund/cancellation , we should use PUT OR28 - Request a refund or OR30 - Request cancelations on order lines
- GET RE01 - List reasons
API Call:/api/reasons
API Docs: https://help.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OR24
Please note we need to store only the reasons which are with type = “REFUND“ and type = “CANCELATION“
v1.1 Example response:
{
"reasons": [
{
"code": "14",
"is_shop_right": false,
"label": "No response from the shop",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "15",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Out of stock",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "16",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Cancelled by the client prior to shipping",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "17",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Item returned",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "18",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Item not received",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "19",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Agreement found with the vendor",
"type": "REFUND"
},
{
"code": "34",
"is_shop_right": true,
"label": "Cancelled by the client prior to shipping",
"type": "CANCELATION"
},
{
"code": "SYSTEM_LATE_SHIPMENT_CANCELATION",
"is_shop_right": false,
"label": "Canceled due to late shipment",
"type": "CANCELATION"
},
{
"code": "SYSTEM_CANCELATION_DEBIT_FAILED",
"is_shop_right": false,
"label": "Debit failed",
"type": "CANCELATION"
},
{
"code": "SYSTEM_CANCELATION_DEBIT_TIMEOUT",
"is_shop_right": false,
"label": "Debit timed out",
"type": "CANCELATION"
}
],
"total_count": 54
}
Bear in mind we need to display the label
into the UI but to send the code
.
Because in our UI we cannot distinguish the refund from the cancellation we need to add in the label what type is the reason is for the refund or for cancellation.
E.G. [REFUND] - {label} or [CANCELATION] - {label}

*Note:* Each payment row (type=refund) will need to be send as a separate request. If even one of the refunds failed it will fail the whole feed. Thus we have agreed to push them per payment row. Which means we will have one request with all of the refund row nodes Example call: (one item in order)*

MIRAKL allows us to refund:
- Partially items;
- Shipping
- Orders
So the only validation we will need is to make sure we are not refunding more than we can for particular order item line!

Also we would like to calculate in couple of ways:#If we are making full item refund to get it from Orders > Total Marketplace VAT
If we are making partial and full item refunds we want to get the tax from Product in Order > Marketplace VAT Item Price
If we have partial item refund and we are making full item refund to calculate it based on Product in Order > Marketplace VAT Item Price - already refunded VAT -
If we are having item refund and we are making order full refund to calculate it based on Orders > Total Marketplace VAT - already refunded VAT

PUT OR29 - Cancel an order not yet debited from the customer
API Call: /api/orders/{order_id}/cancel
API Docs: https://help.mirakl.net/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OR29
We have to specify in the URL our Orders
> Marketplace Order Id
Cancel an order not yet debited from the customer. All accepted but NOT shipped orders are treated as “Not Yet Debited” which means that if a cancellation has to happen, we need to use the OR29 call instead of OR30. Please note only full order cancellations for non debited orders are allowed and we would like to add internal validation and return internal error if not full cancellation is done.
Example call:
PUT https://mirakl.marketplace.laredoute.com/api/orders/12341231-A/cancel
Example Response: 204: No Content
Please note since there is no content in the response we wont have a transaction id for the refund so we need to make a OR11 - List Orders call for the specific order that we have cancelled and store the transaction ID.
This needs to be done after each 204: No Content response for the specific order that we are cancelling.
We have developed all possible scenarios:
- If we have
can_cancel
=true
andcustomer_debited_date
=null
andcan_refund
=false
We need to use the OR29 to cancel the order - If we have
can_cancel
=true
andcustomer_debited_date
=date
(in a2023-12-04T12:26:07.043Z
format) andcan_refund
=false
we need to use the OR30 to cancel - If we have for some reason
can_refund
=true
andcan_cancel
=true
we need to use the OR30 to cancel (this is not an expected behavior anyways, if for some reason it happens for whatever reason we want to have it covered) - If we have
can_cancel
=false
andcustomer_debited_date
=null
andcan_refund
=true
We need to use the OR28 to refund the order (this is not an expected behavior anyways, if for some reason it happens for whatever reason we want to have it covered) -
If we have
can_cancel
=false
andcustomer_debited_date
=date
(in a2023-12-04T12:26:07.043Z
format) andcan_refund
=true
We need to use the OR28 to refund the order</v1.5>
Specifics:
We will have couple of cases here because we will have one Order Payment row with type = refund but in MIRAKL there might be couple of transaction:
- If all transaction are successfully and we receive the
refund_id
or thecancellation_id
,we need to mark the Order Payment > Status = "Completed" and Refund Row > Status = "Completed" - If not all transactions are completed but we have one or more completed we mark the Order Payment > Status = “Partially Completed“, Refund Row > Status = “Completed“ for the successful line and Refund Row > Status = “Error“.
Note: The error message stating which Order Item Line failed is stored in Order Error table.
- If all transactions failed we mark Order Payment > Status = “Error“, Refund Row > Status = “Error“ and store the error in Order Error table.
How to decide when to make a cancellation or refund is stated on the order. There are two flags which we can rely on in the order payload called "can_cancel" and “can_refund“ based on them we will know which is the correct request. If we have a case where both flags are set as true we pick as default the cancellation flow,
