Void

Perform a void when a transaction has been entered incorrectly and needs to be cancelled and re-done.

§        The whole transaction will be voided -- you cannot perform a partial void.  

§        Only transactions in the current batch can be voided.  For example, if the purchase transaction that you want to void is in a batch that is already closed, perform a refund instead.

§        To void a pre-authorization, perform a completion for $0 .

§        If the customer paid for the original transaction using a mobile device (for example, a smartphone) and the actual card is not available, perform a refund instead of a void.
