Create Refund
Creates a refund. When there are no payment method validation issues, the refund process is successful and the refund payment request is scheduled. The payment request itself occurs asynchronously.
Requires at least one of the following scopes:
* `store_v2_orders`
* `store_v2_transactions`
**Note:**
Order refunds should be processed sequentially. Processing multiple concurrent refunds on the same order are not yet supported.
