payment.* events

A specific charge is refunded, fully or partially.

When this fires

A per-payment refund settles. Pairs with subscription.refunded when the refund covers the entire subscription.

Settled refunds only. A refund a provider has queued but not yet paid out raises nothing; access is never revoked for money that has not actually moved.

Caveats

  • Emitted by Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, Razorpay and Skrill. CoinPayments and CeyPay expose no refund notification.
  • Raised for partial refunds as well as full ones. Read full_refund to tell them apart; a partial refund leaves the subscription and its access untouched.
  • Stripe reports a running total across refunds; the amount here is this refund, not the cumulative figure.
  • Distinct from subscription.refunded, which represents the subscription's reaction. A refund may emit only payment.refunded if the subscription itself is unaffected.
  • Partial refunds are represented by amount being less than the original charge.

Headers

SB-Signaturestring required

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>: the HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<raw body>" under the endpoint's secret. Verify it before acting, and refuse a t more than 300 seconds from now. During a secret rotation a v0= signature under the previous secret may precede v1=.

SB-Event-Idstring required

The event's ULID, bare. The envelope's id is the same ULID prefixed evt_, so strip the prefix before comparing. Deduplicate on it: a retry carries the same id.

SB-Event-Namestring required

The event name, the same as the envelope's type.

Content-Typestring required

Always application/json.

User-Agentstring required

Always Subscriby-Webhooks/1.0.

Payload

idstring required

A ULID unique to the event, prefixed evt_. Every retry carries the same id, so it is the key to deduplicate on.

type'payment.refunded' required

The event name, always payment.refunded here.

created_atstring date-time required

When the event was emitted, server time, ISO 8601.

api_versionstring required

The contract version of the payload shape, 2026-05-01 today. A breaking change to a shape ships under a new version.

project_idstring uuid nullable required

The project the event belongs to; null for team-scoped and billing events.

Response

Your endpoint acknowledged the delivery. Any 2xx status within 30 seconds marks it delivered; the response body is ignored.

Changes

Webhooks have no change history: a webhook is keyed by its event name rather than a path and method, so no recorded change can name it.
