Automatic Partial Authorization Reversals

Automatic partial authorization reversals are supported for:
  • Credit cards
  • Debit cards and prepaid cards.
  • Quasi-cash.
If the capture amount is less than the authorization amount,
Cybersource
 automatically performs a partial authorization reversal before it sends the capture request to the processor. The results of a successful partial authorization reversal are:
  • The capture amount matches the new authorization amount at the payment card company.
  • The hold on the unused credit card funds might be released. The issuing bank decides whether or not to release the hold on unused funds.
    Not all issuers act on a request for a partial authorization reversal. Therefore,
    Cybersource
     cannot guarantee that the funds will be released.
