Time-Out Authorization Reversals

When you do not receive a response message after sending an authorization request, this feature enables you to reverse the authorization that you requested.
IMPORTANT
Wait 60 seconds before requesting a time-out authorization reversal.
Include the
clientReferenceInformation.transactionId
 field in the original request for an authorization. The value of the merchant transaction ID must be unique for 180 days.
When the original transaction fails, the response message for the reversal request includes these fields:
  • reversalAmountDetails.originalTransactionAmount
  • processorInformation.responseCode

Requirements

Unless your processor supports authorization reversal after void (ARAV), time-out authorization reversals are supported only for authorizations that have not been captured and settled.
