How to Cancel Square Invoices (2026)

How to cancel Square Invoices

To cancel or manage invoices in the Square Invoices system, follow these steps:

Sign in to your online Square Dashboard and navigate to the Invoices section.
Select the invoice you want to cancel.
Click on the More option, then select Cancel, and confirm the cancellation.

You can only cancel invoices that are in the SCHEDULED, UNPAID, or PARTIALLY_PAID state. Invoices in the DRAFT, PAID, REFUNDED, CANCELED, or FAILED state cannot be canceled.
After canceling, the invoice status will be set to CANCELED, and any associated order will be updated accordingly. For example, SCHEDULED or UNPAID invoices will set the order state to CANCELED, while PARTIALLY_PAID invoices will set the order state to COMPLETED with a new line item reflecting the partially paid amount.

Go to the Invoices section in your Square Dashboard.
Filter by Active Recurring Series and select the series you want to cancel.
Click on the three dots next to the series, then select End Series, and confirm the cancellation.

Draft invoices can be deleted, but published invoices cannot.
To delete a draft invoice, navigate to the Invoices section, select the draft invoice, click on the three dots, and choose Delete. Ensure you provide the current version of the invoice if necessary.

After canceling or deleting an invoice, Square will notify the seller and customer based on the notification settings.
Webhook events such as invoice.updated, invoice.canceled, and order.updated will be invoked accordingly.

If you cannot delete an invoice, you can archive it to hide it from your view.
Go to the Invoices section, select the invoice, click on More, then choose Archive, and confirm the archiving.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage and cancel invoices within the Square Invoices system.
