# Voids

A **void** cancels a payment authorisation **before it is captured**. The acquirer releases the amount that was held on the customer's card, so no money ever moves — as if the transaction had never happened.
Use a void to undo an authorisation that has not yet been captured. To return money that has **already** been captured, use a **Refund** instead.
Voids are supported for **single** and **frequent** payment authorisations.
