# Cancelling an invoice

When you cancel an invoice, the customer's account will be credited. This is different from [refunding an invoice](/platform/day-to-day/finance/invoicing/issuing-refunds.md), where money is sent to the customer using their chosen payment gateway.‌

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you use Quickbooks please see the article on [cancelled invoices](/platform/settings/integrations-and-apps-1/accounting/quickbooks/quickbooks-cancelled-and-refunded-invoices.md) in QBO.
{% endhint %}
