cancel an invoice you sent by mistake

for an invoice you shouldn't have sent — wrong customer, duplicate, dispute that needs to be reissued. cancel marks it as void without deleting the audit trail.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the invoice

    find it in your list. it has to be unpaid — paid and refunded invoices stay on the books.

  2. 2

    click "cancel"

    the cancel button sits in the action row. status flips to "cancelled" — the customer's payment link no longer works, and the invoice no longer counts toward outstanding.

  3. 3

    (optional) delete the cancelled invoice

    cancelled invoices CAN be deleted (unlike paid/refunded ones). open the cancelled invoice and click "delete" if you want it off the list entirely. drafts and cancelled are the only deletable statuses.

    tip

    if the customer needs a fresh invoice (right line items, same customer), cancel the old one and build a new one from scratch — don't try to edit the cancelled one back to life.
