reversal pending

A status in which an earlier payment is in the process of being undone, but the reversal is not yet complete.

In plain English

An earlier payment is being undone instead of left as final. That change has started, but it has not finished yet.

In context

Here, it labels a transaction adjustment whose reversal of an earlier payment is underway but has not fully posted yet.

Situation
Handling verification holds, payment disputes, chargebacks, reversals, and failed refunds
What it communicates

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not show when the reversal will finish or whether it will ultimately complete.

Examples

“The duplicate card payment is reversal pending, so the earlier debit is being undone but has not posted back yet.”

Core meaning
