# Order cancellation now supports refunds to store credit

As of GraphQL Admin API version `2025-07`, the [`orderCancel` mutation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel) allows you to issue refunds as store credit, in addition to the original payment methods, when orders are cancelled.

This update introduces a new [`refundMethod` input](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel#arguments-refundMethod), which offers greater flexibility in handling customer refunds during order cancellations, and deprecates the existing [`refund` input](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel#arguments-refund).

#### Action required:

If you want to continue to issue refunds to the original payments methods on order cancellation, replace your usages of the [`refund` input](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel#arguments-refund) with the new [`refundMethod.originalPaymentMethodsRefund` input](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel#arguments-refundMethod.fields.originalPaymentMethodsRefund) going forward.

For detailed information and examples on how to implement the new input, visit our [orderCancel documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/orderCancel) on Shopify.dev.
