Why Validate Refund Data?

Refund Tracking

Refund exports must link to original charges for accurate accounting. Missing Charge ID or invalid Status values cause reconciliation failures.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your Stripe refunds export: - Required columns present (id, Created, Amount) - Refund IDs follow expected format - Status values are valid

Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Refund ID

The 'id' column (re_xxx) is required but not found

File without 'id' column
re_1A2B3C4D5E6F7G

Refund ID is needed for audit trails

Re-export from Stripe Dashboard → Payments → Refunds

Missing Original Charge

Refund is missing the original charge ID reference

(blank Charge column)
ch_1A2B3C4D5E6F7G

Each refund should reference its original payment

Check if column was excluded from export

Unknown Refund Status

The 'Status' value is not a recognized Stripe refund status

complete or done
succeeded, pending, failed, canceled

Only Stripe's standard refund statuses are valid

Ensure you're using unmodified Stripe export

Refund Amount Too Large

Refund amount is greater than original charge (data issue)

Charge: 1000, Refund: 1500
Charge: 1500, Refund: 1000

Refunds cannot exceed original payment amount

Check for data corruption or partial refund issues
