I am encountering the same issue with refunds, receiving an 'Array to string conversion' error. This functionality was working fine earlier but has recently started causing this error.

[rishab1788]

@pankajsahukumar seems like libraby is broken i tried with latest version then also there is same problem for refund I am using now API. you can also use API.
custom code which works in PHP -

<?php
class RazorpayPaymentService
{
    private $apiKey;
    private $apiSecret;

    public function __construct($apiKey, $apiSecret)
    {
        $this->apiKey = $apiKey;
        $this->apiSecret = $apiSecret;
    }

    public function processRefund($paymentId, $refundAmount, $notes = [], $receipt = null)
    {
        $url = "https://api.razorpay.com/v1/payments/$paymentId/refund";

        $data = [
            "amount" => $refundAmount
        ];

        if (!empty($notes)) {
            $data['notes'] = $notes;
        }

        if (!empty($receipt)) {
            $data['receipt'] = $receipt;
        }

        $ch = curl_init();

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$this->apiKey}:{$this->apiSecret}");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));

        $response = curl_exec($ch);

        if (curl_errno($ch)) {
            $error = curl_error($ch);
            curl_close($ch);
            return ["success" => false, "message" => "cURL Error: $error"];
        }

        $httpStatus = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        curl_close($ch);

        $responseData = json_decode($response, true);

        if ($httpStatus >= 200 && $httpStatus < 300) {
            return ["success" => true, "data" => $responseData];
        } else { 
            return ["success" => false, "message" => $responseData['error']['description'] ?? "Unknown error"];
        }
    }
}

Still some time i am getting this error

[pankajsahukumar]

actually package is not broken there api server is throwing an error which is not compatible with the package error handler

[raguventhan]

Am also getting same error while doing refund

[nptugoz]

Looks like PHP SDK is using a request URL (v1/refund/create) that is no longer supported. It should be /v1/payments/:id/refund.

You can replace the refund function in src/Payment.php with the following:

    public function refund($attributes = array())
    {
        $relativeUrl = $this->getEntityUrl() . $this->id . '/refund';
        return $this->request('POST', $relativeUrl, $attributes);
    }

[raguventhan]

@nptugoz tried your suggestion but its not working.

[rishab1788]

@raguventhan even the API solution didn't work for you?

[nptugoz]

@nptugoz tried your suggestion but its not working.

@raguventhan It is working for me. Are you using $api->payment->fetch($payment_id)->refund();? If so, this fix should work. Let me know if you are using a different method.

[raguventhan]

@nptugoz am using this $rzpApi->payment ->fetch( $paymentId )->refund( $data );

[raguventhan]

@rishab1788 the curl approach is working

[ankitdas13]
