POST /psp/paymentorders/09ccd29a-7c4f-4752-9396-12100cbfecce/cancellations HTTP/1.1

{
    "transaction": {
        "description": "Test Cancellation",
        "payeeReference": "ABC123"
    }
}

Field	Type	Description
`transaction`	`object`	The transaction object.
`description`	`string`	A textual description of why the transaction is cancelled.
`payeeReference`	`string`	A unique reference from the merchant system. Set per operation to ensure an exactly-once delivery of a transactional operation. Length and content validation depends on whether the `transaction.number` or the `payeeReference` is sent to the acquirer. If Swedbank Pay handles the settlement, the `transaction.number` is sent and the `payeeReference` must be in the format of `A-Za-z0-9` (including `-`) and `string(30)`. If you handle the settlement, Swedbank Pay will send the `payeeReference` and it will be limited to the format of `string(12)`. All characters must be digits.

If the cancel request succeeds, the response should be similar to the example below:

Show fields

Property	Type	Description
`payment`	`string`	The relative URL of the payment this cancellation transaction belongs to.
`cancellation`	`object`	The cancellation object, containing information about the cancellation transaction.
`id`	`string`	The relative URL of the cancellation transaction.
`transaction`	`object`	The object representation of the generic `transaction` resource, containing information about the current transaction.
`id`	`string`	The relative URL of the current `transaction` resource.
`created`	`string`	The ISO-8601 date and time of when the transaction was created.
`updated`	`string`	The ISO-8601 date and time of when the transaction was updated.
`type`	`string`	Indicates the transaction type.
`state`	`string`	`Initialized`, `Completed` or `Failed`. Indicates the state of the transaction.
`number`	`integer`	The transaction `number`, useful when there’s need to reference the transaction in human communication. Not usable for programmatic identification of the transaction, where `id` should be used instead.
`amount`	`integer`	The transaction amount (including VAT, if any) entered in the lowest monetary unit of the selected currency. E.g.: `10000` = `100.00` SEK, `5000` = `50.00` SEK. The amount displayed is the final amount the payer paid for their order, including any instrument specific discounts or fees.
`vatAmount`	`integer`	The payment’s VAT (Value Added Tax) `amount`, entered in the lowest monetary unit of the selected currency. E.g.: `10000` = `100.00` SEK, `5000` = `50.00` SEK. The `vatAmount` entered will not affect the `amount` shown on the payment page, which only shows the total `amount`. This field is used to specify how much of the total `amount` the VAT will be. Set to `0` (zero) if there is no VAT `amount` charged.
`description`	`string`	A human readable description of maximum 40 characters of the transaction.
`payeeReference`	`string`	A unique reference from the merchant system. Set per operation to ensure an exactly-once delivery of a transactional operation. Length and content validation depends on whether the `transaction.number` or the `payeeReference` is sent to the acquirer. If Swedbank Pay handles the settlement, the `transaction.number` is sent and the `payeeReference` must be in the format of `A-Za-z0-9` (including `-`) and `string(30)`. If you handle the settlement, Swedbank Pay will send the `payeeReference` and it will be limited to the format of `string(12)`. All characters must be digits. In Invoice Payments `payeeReference` is used as an invoice/receipt number, if the `receiptReference` is not defined.

Cancel Sequence Diagram

Cancel can only be done on a authorized transaction. If you perform a cancel after doing a partial capture, you will cancel the remaining authorized amount.
