<Ingress title="Abort a Pay Link">
    After a Pay Link is sent, it is possible to abort it via an api call.
    Once it is done, that checkout session is aborted and cannot be reused.
    A <a href="/docs/checkout/notificationcallback">notification callback</a> will be sent, and when <a href="/docs/checkout/getcheckoutinformation">fetching the checkout</a>, the status will be Aborted.
</Ingress>

:::info Important
You cannot abort a Pay Link when the user is [committed](/docs/checkout/getcheckoutinformation#datastatus) to a purchase, or if the purchase has already been completed. You will get HTTP error code 409 if committed, or custom error code 900 if already completed.
