# Cancel Payment

Use the `cancelHostedPayment` mutation to cancel a hosted payment that is still in the **`created`** state.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```graphql
mutation {
  cancelHostedPayment(
    paymentRequest: "VHlwZXM6OkNhc2hyYW1wOjpBUEk6Ok1lcmNoYW50UGF5bWVudFJlcXVlc3QtMTFlZDhkZjUtZDI4Ni00MTI3LWJjZjktMTA3NTFkZTYxN2I4"

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can only cancel requests whose `status` is **`created`**.\
Once a payment has progressed to **`picked_up`**, **`completed`**, or **`canceled`**, it can no longer be voided with this mutation.
