What happended?

• I cannot make multiple refunds in a single order.

Expected behavior

• I should be able to refund as many times as possible, as long as it doesn't exceed the original amount of the order.

Actual behavior

Here is the current refund issue I'm having :

• I'm placing an order with a certain amount with more than one item.
• I create a return for a certain item in the order after everything is fulfilled and delivered.
• After the return has been created, I issue a refund.
• Refund is processed successfully.

If I repeat this exact process for another item in the same order, the refund is not successfull, I'm faced with this error :

{
  message: 'Order does not have an outstanding balance to refund',
  name: 'Error',
  stack: 'Error: Order does not have an outstanding balance to refund\n' +

hey @theosenoussaoui any chance you can provide a video reproducing this issue? We are mainly wondering how you create the refund.
