Cancel Booking - Plugixa Car Rental for WordPress

Cancel Booking - Plugixa Car Rental

POST /plugixa-car-rental/v1/public/manage/cancel

Cancel the booking a manage link opens, on the terms View Booking showed.

Public: no sign-in and no nonce. Needs the Customer portal app on. Rate limited to 10 requests an hour per visitor address: see Public routes.

The terms are recorded on the booking, its status becomes cancelled, and plugixa_car_rental_booking_cancelled_by_customer fires. The refund is paid back automatically only for money taken by an online method that can refund; anything paid at the desk is yours to return.

Field	Type	Meaning
`data.booking.status`	`string`	`cancelled`
`data.cancellation.recorded`	`boolean`	`true` on a cancelled booking: `fee` and `refund` are then the ones it was cancelled on

Errors

Status	Code	When
`404`	`plugixa_car_rental_link_invalid`	The link is malformed, does not match the booking, or the booking is in the trash.
`409`	`plugixa_car_rental_cannot_cancel`	The booking cannot be cancelled online: not `pending` or `confirmed`, or its pickup time has passed. The message says which.
`409`	`plugixa_car_rental_terms_changed`	`fee` differs from today’s fee. `data.cancellation` carries the new terms.

Plus the errors every endpoint can return.
