Authorization Reversal

An authorization reversal is generated to notify the issuer that the sale has been voided or canceled and that the authorization hold should be released.

If a reversal is not sent, the authorized funds may remain outstanding for anywhere from 3 to 14 days, depending on the card type. In some countries if a reversal advice is not received within the same business day the transaction will be processed.

The response indicates whether the authorization vendor received the reversal request. It is not a guarantee the reversal has been processed.
