Status Transitions

When you cancel a bulk transfer:
  1. Status changes from created/executing to cancelled
  2. All pending transfers are marked as cancelled
  3. In-progress transfers complete normally
  4. Completed transfers remain unchanged

​
Webhook Events

Monitor these events for cancellation status:

​
Error Handling

​
bulk_transfer_not_found

  • Verify the bulk transfer ID
  • Check the ID format
​

  • Only created/executing transfers can be cancelled
  • Check current transfer status
​
partial_cancellation

​
Refund Handling

For transfers that require refunds:
  1. Successfully cancelled transfers are automatically reversed
  2. Funds are returned to your balance
  3. Refund status is tracked via webhooks
  4. Processing time varies by payment method
Some payment methods may have specific refund restrictions or processing times.
