Cancel a PaymentIntent 

Core Resources
Payment Intents
Cancel a PaymentIntent

You can cancel a PaymentIntent object when it’s in one of these statuses: requires_payment_method, requires_capture, requires_confirmation, requires_action or, in rare cases, processing.

After it’s canceled, no additional charges are made by the PaymentIntent and any operations on the PaymentIntent fail with an error. For PaymentIntents with a status of requires_capture, the remaining amount_capturable is automatically refunded.

You can’t cancel the PaymentIntent for a Checkout Session. Expire the Checkout Session instead.

Parameters

  • cancellation_reasonstring

    Reason for canceling this PaymentIntent. Possible values are: duplicate, fraudulent, requested_by_customer, or abandoned

Returns

Returns a PaymentIntent object if the cancellation succeeds. Returns an error if the PaymentIntent is already canceled or isn’t in a cancelable state.
