Cancel an Order

(Depricated and No Longer Supported for New Users) Cancel an Order

This operation allows a user to cancel an order which has not yet been paid. The order cannot be reversed using this operation once reconciliation has taken place. The order can only be cancelled by the same user who originally submitted it. This is a secure request as indicated by the '/secure/' element in the URL path, therefore, an access token (authentication) is required.
