Reverse payment

POST/payments/{paymentId}/reversereversePayment

Use this method to cancel or to partially cancel a payment in an open batch. This is also known as voiding a payment.

To cancel a payment, you need its paymentId. Our gateway returned the paymentId in the response of the Create Payment method.

Note: If you don't have the paymentId, use our List Payments method to search for the payment.

If your request is successful, our gateway removes the payment from the merchant's open batch and no funds are taken from the cardholder's account.
