Cancel a payment

About this guide

This guide quickly demonstrates how to cancel a pending or open payment in EBANX. We will walk you through the basic steps to achieve this goal using your already existing Direct API integration.

How it works

To Cancel a payment through EBANX Direct API, please follow the steps below.

1. Make sure that the payment status is equal pending or open

   You can only cancel a payment if its status is equal to (OP) open or (PE) pending. You can check the status of your payment using the end-point ws/query. You can learn more about this end-point in this quick guide.

   Confirmed payments

   Please, note that payments with status equal to CO (Confirmed) can only be refunded, not canceled.

2. Cancel the payment using /ws/cancel end-point

   To cancel a payment, you just need to call the end-point /ws/cancel (from your server) with the following required fields:

   Field	Description
   integration_key	Your unique and secret integration key
   hash	The payment hash (EBANX unique identifier)

   Please, check the example below:

   curl -X POST -G 'https://sandbox.ebanxpay.com/ws/cancel' \

   -d 'integration_key=your_test_integration_key' \

   -d 'hash=5476099e890c06ca6f02cae9da1b1faaf3c5929439076cb9'

   A successful request will return a JSON response similar to the one below.
