voided

Voided is the status of a card payment that has been cancelled before settlement, so the transaction will not be completed.

In plain English

This means the payment was stopped early, before it reached the stage where card transactions are settled. Because it was cancelled at that point, it will not go through to completion.

In context

Here, it labels a card payment as cancelled before settlement, so that transaction will not be completed.

Situation

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not say why the payment was cancelled.

Examples

Core meaning

“The order had one voided card payment and one later cash payment.”
