# payment.cancelled

> The payment was cancelled. Payload reference and example for the payment.cancelled webhook event.

`cancelled` is populated. A payment can only be cancelled while it awaits buyer action, so `processing` is always `null`.

| `data.status` | Stage objects populated                                    | Stage objects always `null`                             |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cancelled`   | [`cancelled`](/payments/webhook-event-reference#cancelled) | `processing`, `success`, `failed`, `expired`, `settled` |

Every field is documented in the [event overview](/payments/webhook-event-reference).
