  Void refers to pre-authorization void, used when merchants decide to reject an
  authorized but uncaptured payment. Applicable in cases such as detecting
  high-risk fraud. Once a payment has been successfully captured, it can no
  longer be canceled through VOID, and refunds must be processed to return the
  funds to the consumer.
---
An authorized payment can either be captured (funds are sent to the merchant's account) or voided (the merchant decides to reject the payment for certain reasons, such as high-risk fraud).

Please note that for transactions that have already been captured, payment cancellation is not possible. In this case, the merchant should initiate a refund to return the funds to the shopper. Capture, void, and refund are collectively known as modifications because they modify the status of an authorized payment request.
