Void Authorization API
The Void Authorization API is used to cancel a previously authorized payment before the funds are captured, releasing the hold on the customer’s account.
Key Points
-
The Void Authorization API is crucial when a decision is made not to proceed with a transaction that has been authorised but not yet captured.
-
Once the authorization is voided, the funds that were held on the customer’s account are released, making them available to the customer again.
-
This API is typically used in scenarios where an order is cancelled before fulfilment or if there’s a change in transaction details requiring re-authorisation.
