# Reverse a payout

Reverses a payout by debiting the destination bank account. At this time, you can only reverse payouts for connected accounts to US bank accounts. If the payout is manual and in the `pending` status, use `/v1/payouts/:id/cancel` instead.

By requesting a reversal through `/v1/payouts/:id/reverse`, you confirm that the authorized signatory of the selected bank account authorizes the debit on the bank account and that no other authorization is required.

## Returns

Returns the reversing payout object if the reversal is successful. Returns an error if the payout is already reversed or can’t be reversed.

## Parameters

- `metadata` (object, optional)
  Set of [key-value pairs](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/api/metadata.md) that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to `metadata`.
