Auth Reversal is a request that reverses, or voids, a previously approved authorization that has not yet been captured.
Note: The reversal must be performed within 8 days of the initial Auth Only request, or else an error will occur.
Amount is not applicable to this request
An Auth Reversal will void the entire transaction amount, so the
amount
property is not relevant.
