# Payment cancelation

If the customer wants to return the purchase, you can use the `Reversal` function

The `Reversal` function is available only within the open (not yet closed) business day.

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

1. If the business day is closed, payment cancelation is not available, since your Acquiring Service Provider has already settled the transaction. In this case, we recommend using the [Refund](https://docs.tapxphone.com/guide/app-guide/refund) function.
2. When a payment is canceled, the full amount of the purchase is returned. For a partial refund, use the [Refund](https://docs.tapxphone.com/guide/app-guide/refund) function.
   {% endhint %}

There are two ways to cancel a purchase:

1. By selecting the required purchase from the list of transactions in the current business day.
2. By specifying the receipt number.

Cancel purchase from the transactions list

To cancel purchase from the transactions list, go to the menu `Point of sale` -> `Transactions`
