This section of the course is all about refunds, and, of course, you can refund things from the stripe

00:07.730 --> 00:08.320
dashboard.

00:08.330 --> 00:11.680
So I'm logged into my stripe account right now and I'm viewing test data.

00:11.690 --> 00:17.390
And if I go to payments, I can choose a payment like this one, click anywhere on it and say I want

00:17.390 --> 00:20.720
a refund that and I just click the refund button and that's great.

00:21.260 --> 00:27.200
But of course, doing it this way means that as far as we're concerned, on our own dashboard, on our

00:27.200 --> 00:33.260
own application, that's still a valid payment and it can be refunded and we have no way of knowing

00:33.260 --> 00:34.320
that it's been refunded.

00:35.180 --> 00:37.280
Now, there are a number of ways of handling this.

00:37.280 --> 00:40.670
You could set up a straight hook, which is just a web hook.

00:40.670 --> 00:47.510
And any time a refund or a payment takes place, you fire off, request your own API and handle it that

00:47.510 --> 00:47.740
way.

00:47.960 --> 00:49.020
We're not going to do it that way.

00:49.040 --> 00:54.890
What I want to do instead is for the next few lectures, implement refunds right on our own application

00:54.890 --> 00:56.460
and it's really not that difficult.

00:56.480 --> 00:58.490
It'll take less than one hundred lines of code.

00:58.700 --> 00:59.570
So let's get started.
