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.

Request Content

Send a cardTransaction object, with the following:

Property	Type	Required
`cardTransactionType`	string	required, value must be AUTH_REVERSAL
`merchantTransactionId`	string	required if not using`transactionId` value must be the merchant transaction ID from the Auth Only response
`transactionId`	string	required if not using`merchantTransactionId` value must be the transaction ID from the Auth Only response

📘
Note
If both transactionId and merchantTransactionId are included, merchantTransactionId will be ignored.

Response Details

If successful, the response HTTP status code is 200 OK.
The response will have the same content as the response to the initial Auth Only request, except that the value of cardTransactionType will be AUTH_REVERSAL. The transactionId or 'merchantTransactionId' in the response will match the ID for the initial Auth Only.
