Revoke a payment mandate

Revoke a payment mandate

Use the following steps to revoke a payment mandate. Revoking a mandate removes the ability to make new payments using the payment mandate. However information about the mandate will still be available to retrieve in the future.

🚧

Revoked mandates cannot be reinstated

Once a mandate has been revoked, it cannot be reinstated in future. You must create a new mandate if you wish to set up recurring payments for the user. See mandate creation for details.
