POST /cancels

Cancels the authorisation on a payment that has not yet been captured, and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a TECHNICAL_CANCEL webhook.

If you want to cancel a payment using the pspReference, use the /payments/{paymentPspReference}/cancels endpoint instead.

If you want to cancel a payment but are not sure whether it has been captured, use the /payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals endpoint instead.

For more information, refer to Cancel.
