Vendor Credits
The Vendor Credit object
A vendor credit (also known as a bill credit) represents money that a vendor owes back to your business, typically from overpayment or returned merchandise. When processing bill payments, you can apply these credits via applyToTransactions.setCredit to reduce payment amounts. Note that vendor credits track money owed by vendors, while credit memos track money you owe customers and are handled through receive-payment transactions.
The schema is of type object.
