# Cancel Standing Order

`POST /cancel`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.sandbox.striga.com/api/v1/standing-orders`
- URL: `https://www.sandbox.striga.com/api/v1/standing-orders/cancel`
- Auth: API key in header `api-key` and API key in header `Authorization`

Cancelling a standing order requires user confirmation. The "Confirm" API is used to confirm a standing order action.

**SCA-enabled applications:** accepts a `verificationMethod` field (`sms`, `totp`, or `passkey`). All three factors are accepted for standing-order cancellation. Confirm the cancellation with the matching factor proof via `/standing-orders/confirm`. When using `passkey`, run `PASSKEY_APPROVAL_START` first.

## Request body

- CancelStandingOrderRequest
  - `userId` string, uuid, required: Unique ID of the user for whom the standing order is to be cancelled
  - `standingOrderId` string, uuid, required: The unique ID of the standing order to be cancelled
  - `verificationMethod` 'sms' | 'totp' | 'passkey': SCA factor to issue the cancellation challenge against. Defaults to `sms` when omitted. All three factors are accepted. For `passkey`, run PASSKEY_APPROVAL_START before calling `/standing-orders/confirm`. Honoured only when the application has scaEnabled=true; ignored otherwise.

## Response `201`

success

- CancelStandingOrderResponse
  - `challengeId` string, uuid, required: Unique challenge ID to be used for cancelling this standing order
