What should I expect in the GetOrders response for an order that was partially refunded using PayPal?

If a transaction funded by PayPal was partially refunded you will observe the following in the GetOrders response -

  1. The OrderStatus for the order will stay as 'Completed'
  2. You will see two ExternalTransaction containers one for the payment and one for the refund.
  3. The AmountPaid = Original Payment Amount - Refund Amount
