Payout reversals
Learn how to reverse a payout sent to a connected account.
When the platform is responsible for risk and negative balances, you can make a payout reversal from an external bank account back to the connected account’s balance.
You can make payout reversals from the Dashboard payout details page or by calling reverse payout.
