Authorization Reversals
For National Payment Gateway, the authorization reversal is sometimes referred to as a pre-authorization void. National Payment Gateway supports full and partial reversals.
Reversing an authorization releases the hold on the customer's payment card funds that the issuing bank placed when processing the authorization.
For a debit card or prepaid card in which only a partial amount was approved, the amount of the reversal must be the amount that was authorized, not the amount that was requested.
For China UnionPay, use the authorization reversal service to reverse pre-authorizations.
All supported card types can process authorization reversals.
