purchaseReversal

If a purchase operation fails with a 500 or 504 HTTP status code, or no response was received within the timeout period, and the provider supports the reversal operation, it must be reversed to ensure the provider knows the airtime purchase did not complete successfully. This operation must be repeated until a final HTTP status code is received (i.e. not 500 or 504). The operation is idempotent and so may be called repeatedly on the same airtime purchase resource without negative effect. If the airtime provider does not support the reversal operation, refer to the purchaseStatus operation.
