# Void

## Introduction

- Void refers to the cancellation operation initiated by the merchant after transaction authorization and before capture. After a successful void, the transaction will not enter the clearing process, and the customer's funds will not actually be deducted.
- Once the transaction has been captured, it cannot be voided and can only be refunded.
