How do I associate a refund transaction with a previous clearing transaction?

Hey @William ,

I guess you can use the `previous_transaction_token` from the payload of the webhook.

@Arvind We get this question often. But the previous _transaction_token can't be used for refunds. Right now we do not have a way to link a refund to a prior debit transaction.

Ohh, ok, Thanks @jcook for the clarification.

Hey @William,  refunds are never tied to any prior transaction so will not have any preceding related transaction token. Unfortunately,  there currently isn't a way to link a refund to a prior debit transaction.
