Cancel an order

Cancel a preliminary order

You can cancel an order until the customer makes an approved payment or card registration. After that, the order is live: mark it as complete instead. A live subscription is the exception: you cancel it.

To list cancelled orders, open Orders, click Filters, select Status › Cancelled, and click Apply. Cancelled orders have a grey cross icon.

Status flow for cancelled orders

Before the first approved payment or card registration, an order has a preliminary status: Draft, Pending or Rejected. You can cancel it.

After that, the order is live. To stop collecting payments on a live order, mark it as Complete. A single payment order becomes Complete on its own after the customer pays. A pre-authorised single payment becomes Complete when you capture or reverse it.

A live subscription has Cancel Order instead of Mark as Complete, and it ends as Cancelled.
