How do I cancel an order?

Summary

This guide centers around the cancelation of live orders through Order Manager. 

Customers may want or need to cancel live orders for several reasons, such as upon a client's request, due to out-of-stock items, duplicate orders etc. It is essential to know that orders can only be cancelled before being fulfilled and delivered to the client.

Several delivery platforms allow cancellations through Order Manager. However, some delivery platforms do not support this feature, only allowing cancellations to be done either directly through their platforms or via their own Support channels. For those unsupported delivery platforms, you will need to contact or log in your delivery partner directly for manual cancellation or have the customer reach out to or log in to their delivery platforms.
