Which statement best describes refunds for platform-first charges?

• A. The platform must issue refunds via API calls
• B. The platform issues refunds automatically
• C. Stripe issues refunds on the platform's behalf
• D. Refunds are not supported for platform-first charges

Answer: (A)

Refunds for platform-first charges are handled by the platform itself through Stripe’s API. When the platform creates a charge on behalf of a connected account, it must issue the refund by calling the refund API for that specific charge. Stripe processes the refund, but the platform is the one responsible for initiating it—there isn’t an automatic refund flow or refunds being issued on the platform’s behalf by Stripe. If you need to partially refund, you can specify an amount in the refund request. That’s why the description stating that the platform must issue refunds via API calls is the best fit.
