# Reverse a Payment

Reverse a payment action can be used to reverse payments made using the [create a payment call](Create_a_Payment) and is only applicable for payments made using the **Merchant Accepted Payment** payment method. When the payment is reversed, status appears as `Failure`. The associated Transaction will be in TransactionStatus `Cancelled`.

**Note:** For all other payment methods, use a [Refund](Refunds) call instead.
