## Important Notes

<Note>
  Deleting a payment is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Consider using the update endpoint to change the status to "cancelled" or "refunded" instead of deleting the record entirely.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Some payment processors may not allow deletion of completed transactions. In such cases, you should use the refund functionality instead.
