A refund and a retry create different payment outcomes. Neither should be inferred from a browser redirect.

​
Refund

A full refund is requested against a successful transaction. Commet returns the provider-neutral refund with its actual status and emits payment.refunded when confirmed. Commet leaves the subscription, access, and future renewals unchanged. If the customer should stop receiving the plan, cancel the subscription separately. Handle payment.refunded idempotently for any additional refund policy in your own product.

​
Retry

A retry applies to a failed subscription renewal. The failed transaction remains unchanged for audit and the retry creates a new attempt against the connection already bound to the subscription. If the retry succeeds, the outstanding invoice is settled and the subscription can return to active. If customer action or a new card is required, use a recovery link or payment-method update instead. See Transactions, Refunds, and Retries and Handle Failed Payments.
