User guide

Cancellation

You can use two different request methods to cancel an order: POST or PATCH. Both methods require the use of an order_id and a group API key, which you can find at your MultiSafepay dashboard under Manage groups.

PATCH request

To cancel an order with a PATCH request, follow these instructions:

The status parameter (string) must be set to cancelled.
Set exclude_order (boolean) to true. This sets the outcome of the cancellation.

Example Request


curl --location --request PATCH \
     --url 'https://api.multisafepay.com/v1/json/orders/{order_id}/?api_key={your-api-key}' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json'
     --data ' 
{
  "status": "cancelled",
  "exclude_order": true
}
'

Example Response


{
  "success":true,
	"data": {}
}

POST request

To cancel an order with a POST request, no additional parameters are required. Introduce the order_id and the API key in the URL.

Example request

curl -X POST 
"https://api.multisafepay.com/v1/json/orders/{order_id}/cancel?api_key={your-api-key}"

Example response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "costs": [],
    "created": "dateTtime",
    "custom_info": {
      "custom_1": null,
      "custom_2": null,
      "custom_3": null
    },
    "fastcheckout": "NO",
    "financial_status": null,
    "modified": "dateTtime",
    "payment_details": {},
    "payment_methods": null,
    "status": "cancelled"
    }
}
