Refunds

This function will be called any time a transaction is requested to be refunded from within WHMCS.

It is supported by all payment gateway module types. If your payment gateway module does not support refunds, simply do not define this function within your module.

Like with a capture attempt, upon completion of the refund, you are expected to return an array containing the transaction details consisting of the status, and if successful a transaction ID and optionally some data to be recorded to the gateway log for debugging purposes.
