The cancel order function lets you:

  • Cancel orders
  • Manage if and how external listening systems are updated
  • See the status of the order

4. Enter Reason for Cancellation (Optional)

  • A dialog box will appear where you can optionally enter a reason code for the cancellation. Please follow your internal processes.
  • Once you’ve entered the reason (if applicable), click Next.

5. Manage Cancellation Actions

  • In the next step, you will need to specify how to handle the cancellation actions, such as notifying the payment provider that the order has been canceled. You have three options:
  • Auto: Brink Commerce will automatically perform the necessary requests to complete the cancellation.
  • Manual: Select this option if the cancellation has been handled manually in an external system. The action will be stored as completed.
  • Skip: This option will skip any automatic actions, and the cancellation will be logged without further processing.
