# Retrieve a credit card refund

> Retrieves a credit card refund by ID.

**IMPORTANT:** If you need to fetch multiple specific credit card refunds by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the `ids` parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster.

      summary: >-
        A credit card refund transaction issues money back to a customer's
        credit card, typically reversing a previously recorded credit card
        payment. It reduces the customer's outstanding accounts receivable
        balance and withdraws funds from the specified refund source account
        (Undeposited Funds by default). Use this when refunding credit card
        payments rather than creating a credit memo or issuing a cash refund.
