Authorization Reversal Transactions

The Authorization Reversal transaction enables you to remove the hold on any funds being held by an Authorization. The original Authorization transaction must have been processed within the system. For information on how to use the Authorization Reversal transaction, see Notes on the Use of Authorization Reversal Transactions. Also, if you use our Recycling Engine, you can use the authReversal transaction to halt the recycling of an authorization transaction.

To reverse an Authorization on a Closed-loop Gift Card, submit a Gift Card Auth Reversal transaction, not an Authorization Reversal transaction. For more information, see Gift Card Auth Reversal Transactions.
