Reverse payment
You can reverse a card transaction if it has not yet been captured. Reversals release the authorization hold on the cardholder’s account, ensuring they are not charged.
To perform a reversal, call the Reverse payment endpoint with the payId
of the original transaction.
Capture payment
If your initial card payment was submitted with captureMethod.type=MANUAL
, you must manually capture the funds after authorization.
Call the Capture payment endpoint using the payId
from the original transaction.
Refund payment
Refunds can be performed for card payments either with reference (linked to the original transaction) or without reference (standalone).
Refund with reference
Use this when the refund is tied to a previously captured transaction. Call the Refund payment endpoint and provide the payId
.
