Poll - Cancelpreauth
Cancel a pre-authorization using the poll method to finalize the transaction on the terminal.
A cancel pre-authorization request releases the funds held by a previously completed pre-authorization. To submit this request, extract the panFirstSix, panLastFour, authCode, stan, and cardLength from the original pre-authorization response and include them in the new request.
Upon receiving the request, the CloudLink API forwards it to the terminal, which immediately registers a SALE_RECEIVED event. Once the terminal cancels the pre-authorization hold, it triggers a final SALE_COMPLETED event. The client can retrieve these events by continuously polling the /poll/terminalresponse/{pollId} endpoint until the terminal response is available.
panFirstSix
First six digits of PAN from response e.g. 123456******7890 input: "123456"
panLastFour
Last four digits of PAN from response e.g. 123456******7890 input: "7890"
authCode
Input authCode from original transaction.
stan
Input Stan from original transaction.
cardLength
Input length of card e.g. 123456******7890 input: "16"
