Payflow Refunds

Question

Does anybody know how to make a refund (when using payflow api) basing on pnref or others parameteres returned by call to paypal. Thanks Maciek

You can refund using a Void if the transaction hasn't settled. For longer term transactions, like a month ago, you need to do a credit. Here is the void code:

    using System;
    using PayPal.Payments.Common;
    using PayPal.Payments.Common.Utility;
    using PayPal.Payments.DataObjects;
    using PayPal.Payments.Transactions;

    namespace PayPal.Payments.Samples.CS.DataObjects.BasicTransactions
    {
/// <summary>
/// This class uses the Payflow SDK Data Objects to do a simple Void transaction.
/// The request is sent as a Data Object and the response received is also a Data     Object.
/// </summary>
public class DOVoid
{
    public DOVoid()
    {
    }

    public static void Main(string[] Args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------");
        Console.WriteLine("Executing Sample from File: DOVoid.cs");
        Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------");

        // Create the Data Objects.
        // Create the User data object with the required user details.
        //UserInfo User = new UserInfo("<user>", "<vendor>", "<partner>", "<password>");

        UserInfo User = new UserInfo("xxx", Xxx", "paypal", "password");

        // Create the Payflow  Connection data object with the required connection details.
        // The PAYFLOW_HOST property is defined in the App config file.
        PayflowConnectionData Connection = new PayflowConnectionData();
        ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

        // Create a new Void Transaction.
        // The ORIGID is the PNREF no. for a previous transaction.
        //VoidTransaction Trans = new VoidTransaction("<ORIGINAL_PNREF>",
        //  User, Connection, PayflowUtility.RequestId);

        VoidTransaction Trans = new VoidTransaction("V35A0A3E6E0C",
            User, Connection, PayflowUtility.RequestId);

        // Submit the Transaction
        Response Resp = Trans.SubmitTransaction();

        // Display the transaction response parameters.
        if (Resp != null)
        {
            // Get the Transaction Response parameters.
            TransactionResponse TrxnResponse =  Resp.TransactionResponse;

            if (TrxnResponse != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("RESULT = " + TrxnResponse.Result);
                Console.WriteLine("PNREF = " + TrxnResponse.Pnref);
                Console.WriteLine("RESPMSG = " + TrxnResponse.RespMsg);
                Console.WriteLine("AUTHCODE = " + TrxnResponse.AuthCode);
                Console.WriteLine("AVSADDR = " + TrxnResponse.AVSAddr);
                Console.WriteLine("AVSZIP = " + TrxnResponse.AVSZip);
                Console.WriteLine("IAVS = " + TrxnResponse.IAVS);
            }

            // Get the Fraud Response parameters.
            FraudResponse FraudResp =  Resp.FraudResponse;

            // Display Fraud Response parameter
            if (FraudResp != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("PREFPSMSG = " + FraudResp.PreFpsMsg);
                Console.WriteLine("POSTFPSMSG = " + FraudResp.PostFpsMsg);
            }

            // Display the response.
            Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + PayflowUtility.GetStatus(Resp));    

            // Get the Transaction Context and check for any contained SDK specific errors (optional code).
            Context TransCtx = Resp.TransactionContext;
            if (TransCtx != null && TransCtx.getErrorCount() > 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "Transaction Errors = " + TransCtx.ToString());
            }
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to Exit ...");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
    }

Here is the credit code:
