# refundPreference

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

```
string refundPreference
```

## Discussion

Use these values in the `refundPreference` field of a [`ConsumptionRequest`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/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`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/consumptionPercentage) value in the `ConsumptionRequest`.
- If the product is an auto-renewable subscription, don’t include a [`consumptionPercentage`](/documentation/AppStoreServerAPI/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.
