Revoking a mandate

If you have an inactive mandate associated with a payment method, you can send a DELETE request to /v1/mandates/{mandateId} endpoint of the payment methods API to revoke the mandate. When you revoke the mandate, the mandate’s status changes from ACTIVE to INACTIVE. This means that the payment method can no longer be used for that specific merchant-initiated transaction.

For example, if you have a mandate associated with a catering order that has four payment installments, after the final payment, you send a DELETE request to change the mandate’s status from ACTIVE to INACTIVE. The payment card can no longer be used for that specific catering order. Mandates with an INACTIVE status cannot be used for merchant-initiated transactions and cannot be reactivated. Include the mandateId in the request path.

No request body is required. A 204 status code is returned indicating the request was successful, but not no content is returned.
