Order Cancellations

To cancel an order, you'll need to create an order cancellation. The order cancellation will contain details of the prospective cancellation such as the amount that will be refunded and where it will be refunded to.

Make sure that you are happy with the prospective cancellation. If you are happy, you can then go ahead and confirm the cancellation at which point the order will be cancelled and the refund will be applied.

The refund specified by refund_amount, if any, will be returned to your original payment method (e.g. your Duffel balance). You'll then need to refund your customer (e.g. back to their credit/debit card). You can only confirm the most recent order cancellation that you have created for an order.

Confirm an order cancellation

Once you've created a pending order cancellation, you'll know the refund_amount you're due to get back.

To actually cancel the order, you'll need to confirm the cancellation. The booking with the airline will be cancelled, and the refund_amount will be returned to the original payment method (i.e. your Duffel balance). You'll then need to refund your customer (e.g. back to their credit/debit card). You can only confirm the most recent order cancellation that you have created.
