# Cancel order by ID

Cancel an order created for Mercado Pago QR Code and all its transactions using the reference ID obtained in the response to its creation. Only an order in "status=created" can be canceled. In case of success, the request will return a response with status 200.

**POST** `/v1/orders/{order_id}/cancel`

## Request parameters

### Header

- `X-Idempotency-Key` (string, required)
  This feature allows you to safely retry requests without the risk of accidentally performing the same action more than once. This is useful for avoiding errors, such as creating two identical payments. To ensure that each request is unique, you must use an exclusive value in the header of each unique value for each call. If you use a value already assigned to another request, you will receive information corresponding to that created resource in response, not this new request. We suggest using a UUID V4 or random strings.

### Path

- `order_id` (string, required)
  ID of the order that is being canceled. This value is returned in the response to the 'Create order' ("/v1/orders") request.

## Response parameters

- `id` (string, optional)
  Identifier of the order canceled in the request.
