# Canceling an Authorized Payment

If you are using the 'Authorize and Capture' method of delaying a payment, you may wish to cancel the payment before it naturally expires (which is by default [after 7 days](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method)). 

### Instructions

* You can cancel a previously authorized payment by using the 'Stripe Connect - Cancel a Payment' action that comes with the plugin. 
* You will need to provide the paymentIntent ID for the payment

* It is also recommended you update the PaymentIntent Status of the transaction after canceling it, so that it's status is accurately reflected in your database
