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.
