How to process a Reversal Transaction

The merchant's system sends a request to ANYpay POS to reverse the original transaction. The TokenReversalRequest element is used in a message to request the reversal of a transaction.

Key elements of a TokenReversalRequest message

Either a Token or a combination of a TokenizedCardNumber and TransactionReference MUST be supplied.

When providing the Tokenized Card Number with a Transaction Reference, the Transaction Reference must be the original reference of the transaction you are attempting to reverse.

TransactionAmount element is optional but is only used when providing the Tokenized Card Number with a Transaction Reference. If TransactionAmount is not provided then the full transaction amount will be reversed.

Section TokenReversalRequest Element describes the elements required to build an IccTransactionRequest message. An example of a TokenReversalRequest message can be seen below.
