When to Use

Void an authorization when:

• The customer cancels their order before shipment.
• You detect fraud before capturing funds.
• The authorization is no longer needed.

Timing: Void as soon as possible. Once an authorization expires or is captured, it cannot be voided. Use Refund instead for captured payments.
