Webhook Refund Responses?

We noticed that the Webhook responses coming from Clover.com have a "type" value of "DELETE" when a Refund is processed, yet the Sandbox sends a "type" value of "UPDATE" when a Refund is processed. Is there a reason for this difference? Should we not be using this as an indication of a Refund?

I assume this is a webhook for `payment` and/or `order`?

Refund can either trigger two different events, depending on the lifecycle of a payment. If refunded immediately, it will be in affect `void`ed, rather than refunded. This will cause the Payment to be deleted, in affect, never been paid at all. If the refund happened after a period of time, it will be refunded. There will be a payment made, then refunded back. This is the cause for webhook for `DELETE` vs `UPDATE`.
