How do I void a customer's transaction?

You may void or cancel a customer's transaction if it has not settled or batched yet. If you are trying to void a charge that was processed sometime ago, chances are you may have to refund it instead.  See the Difference between Refund and Void, and How to Refund a Transaction if the transaction is a few days old (or the transaction has settled).

PayJunction supports "reversals", and therefore, voiding a transaction will generally remove the temporary pending authorization on the customer's credit card within 1 business day.  Some credit card issuing banks will take 2 to 3 days to remove the pending charge. Pending transactions will reduce the customer's available credit card balance (or debit card balance), but will not actually charge the customer's card.
