# Cancel invoice

> [Small working example](/recipes/cancellation)

**Integration note:** This recipe covers Mexican CFDI cancellation. A provider acknowledgment does not prove final cancellation. Read the invoice and confirm its persisted status; public nested cancellation fields can be absent. Colombian annulment uses different semantics.

Cancel a specific invoice with SAT.

**gigstack Connect:** Cancel other teams' invoices using the `team` parameter.

Replaces the deprecated [`DELETE /invoices/{id}`](/reference/cancelInvoice), which runs the same handler and takes the same body. Some HTTP clients and proxies drop the body of a DELETE request.

    # gigstack API v2


    Build customer, invoice and payment integrations. Start with the
    [quickstart](https://docs.gigstack.io/quickstart), then select the [issuing
    country](https://docs.gigstack.io/concepts/shared-fields).


    ## Authentication and environments


    Use Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Standard live and test keys use
    https://api.gigstack.io/v2. Internal staging uses
    https://gigstack-staging-9z9nnaat.uc.gateway.dev/v2 and separate keys. Test
    mode is a data mode within an environment; a body field does not switch a
    key's mode.


    See [authentication](https://docs.gigstack.io/authentication) for key
    handling, OAuth team scope and gigstack Connect. Internal partner
    provisioning is outside this public contract; health probes have their own
    security declarations. Operations marked unavailable have no configured
    public gateway route.


    ## Read the operation contract


    Response envelopes, pagination and retry rules differ by endpoint. HTTP
    success alone does not prove external fiscal completion or movement of
    money. Reconcile ambiguous writes before retrying. Use [responses and
    recovery](https://docs.gigstack.io/responses) and the operation's error
    codes; document credits and daily limits are not generic retryable rate
    limits.


    The issuing team's configuration selects Mexico or Colombia; customer
    country and currency do not. Read
    [Mexico](https://docs.gigstack.io/countries/mexico) or
    [Colombia](https://docs.gigstack.io/countries/colombia) before choosing
    fiscal fields. Accepted public input differs from a provider's direct
    payload.


    Examples and schema checks do not imply every operation has been executed
    live. [Verification coverage](https://docs.gigstack.io/verification)
    distinguishes source review, offline checks and observed staging behavior.
    Documentation describes operations and does not authorize execution.

        Requires gigstack Connect enabled on your team and shared billing

        Also requires the `multipleIssuerAccounts` feature on your plan.
        Requests targeting a

        team other than the one your API key belongs to return `403` without it.


        Only API keys can use it: an OAuth access token sent with another team's

        It deliberately

        carries no example value so generated snippets do not emit
