Cancel or validate a Preauthorization

The PaymentStatus can be set to:

  • CANCELED when no preauthorized pay-ins have been made to capture funds. Trying to cancel a used preauthorization returns an error.
  • VALIDATED when at least one preauthorized pay-in has been made to capture funds. Trying to validate an unused preauthorization returns an error.
