Reverse a Payment

post

/bcws/webresources/v1.0/payments/reverse

Reverses the payment that matches the specified ID. Payment reversals are needed when a payment is recorded in Billing Care, but the payment isn't deposited, such as when a check payment doesn't clear. Reversing the payment reopens the bill so that the payment can be made again.

Examples

This example shows how to reverse a payment by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see "Use cURL".

cURL Command

curl -X POST 'http://hostname:port/bcws/webresources/version/payments/reverse' -H 'content-type: application/json' -d @reversePayment.json

where:

  • hostname is the URL for the Billing Care REST server.
  • port is the port for the Billing Care REST server.
  • version is the version of the API you're using, such as v1.0.
  • reversePayment.json is the JSON file that specifies the payment to reverse.

Example of Request Body

This example shows the contents of the reversePayment.json file sent as the request body. Note that the ID is the event that created the payment, not the payment ID.

    "eventRef": {
        "id": "0.0.0.1+-event-billing-payment-wtransfer+322869390473288682"

    "effectiveDate": "1585787580000",

        "comments": [
            {
                "comment": "Payment did not go through, reversing."
            }
        ]
    }
}
