In plain English
It means the original payment was completely undone by an adjustment. The status distinguishes reversing the whole amount from reversing only some of it.
In context
Here, full reversal labels a transaction as one where an adjustment undid the entire original payment amount.
- Situation
- Handling verification holds, payment disputes, chargebacks, reversals, and failed refunds
- What it communicates
- labels a transaction where the entire amount was undone
Meaning limits
By itself, this term does not say why the reversal happened or anything beyond the fact that the whole original amount was reversed.
Examples
“The £80 payment ended in a full reversal when the adjustment cancelled all £80 instead of only £20.”
“After the adjustment undid the whole payment, the transaction counted as a full reversal.”
