Pending payments can often be cancelled, but this largely depends on the merchant's policies and the payment processing stage. To cancel a pending payment, first check the transaction status through your account on the merchant's site or payment platform. If it's still pending, reach out to customer service for assistance as soon as possible. Bear in mind, once a payment has been processed or marked as completed, cancelling it may not be straightforward, necessitating a refund request instead.
