# Reverse payment

`POST /payments/{paymentId}/reverse`

Use this method to cancel or to partially cancel a payment in an open batch. This is also known as voiding a payment.  

To cancel a payment, you need its paymentId. Our gateway returned the paymentId in the response of the [Create Payment](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/card-payments/payments/create) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the paymentId, use our [List Payments](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/card-payments/payments/list) method to search for the payment.  

If your request is successful, our gateway removes the payment from the merchant's open batch and no funds are taken from the cardholder's account.
