# creditAndRefundInvoice

If initiating the refund fails, a refundError will be returned but the credit invoice would be created nevertheless. It's possible that the refund status are open or pending until a final succesful payment status is received from your Payment Service Provider. This could take a couple of business days for certain payment methods, like SEPA direct debit.
