# consumptionRequestReason

The customer-provided reason for a refund request.

```
string consumptionRequestReason
```

## Discussion

When a customer initiates a refund request for a consumable in-app purchase or auto-renewable subscription, the App Store sends a `CONSUMPTION_REQUEST` [`notificationType`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/notificationType) to your server. The notification includes the `consumptionRequestReason` in the [`data`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/data) object.
