Void Transaction

A void transaction cancels a purchase before it is fully processed.


A void transaction occurs when a transaction is canceled before the payment is settled. The buyer’s account shows the transaction as pending, and the funds are not debited. Void transactions are typically used to correct errors, such as incorrect charges, and are different from refunds, which return funds after a payment has been settled.
