# refundPreference

A value that indicates your preferred outcome for the refund request.

## Declaration

```data
string refundPreference
```

## Possible Values

DECLINE: You prefer that the App Store declines the refund. GRANT_FULL: You prefer that the App Store grants the refund in full. GRANT_PRORATED: You prefer that the App Store grants a prorated refund.

## Discussion

Discussion Use these values in the refundPreference field of a ConsumptionRequest. The following constraints apply to the GRANT_PRORATED option: If the product is a consumable or non-consumable In-App Purchase or a non-renewing subscription, you may include a consumptionPercentage value in the ConsumptionRequest. If the product is an auto-renewable subscription, don’t include a consumptionPercentage value in the ConsumptionRequest. The system calculates the consumption automatically for auto-renewable subscriptions. Your refund preference is one of a variety of factors that the App Store uses to inform its refund decisions.
