Cancel an authorised payment
Cancels the authorisation on a payment that has not yet been captured, and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a CANCELLATION webhook.
If you want to cancel a payment but don't have the pspReference, use the /cancels endpoint instead.
If you want to cancel a payment but are not sure whether it has been captured, use the /payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals endpoint instead.
For more information, refer to Cancel.

Your reference for the cancel request. Maximum length: 80 characters.
After submitting a call, you receive a response message to inform you that your request was received and processed.
