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. It is set per operation to ensure an exactly-once delivery of a transactional operation. See payeeReference for details.

Cancel Sequence

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.
