Cancel an Adyen Payment Request

In this article, we describe how to cancel an Adyen payment request, allowing you to stop a payment before it is processed.

Note: A payment must be in a cancellable state to send a cancel request. If a payment is set to be captured immediately, the payment cannot be cancelled, instead it should be refunded.

Step 1: Navigate to the posted sales invoice to which the payment to be cancelled is attached.

Step 2: Click on the Adyen action tab.

Step 3: Click on the Cancel Adyen Payment

A cancellation request will be sent to Adyen. The payment status will be updated automatically via webhooks.
