## Request parameters

### Header

- `X-Idempotency-Key` (string, required)
  This feature allows you to safely retry requests without the risk of accidentally performing the same action more than once. This is useful for avoiding errors, such as creating two identical payments. To ensure that each request is unique, it's important to use an exclusive value in the header of your request. We suggest using a UUID V4 or random strings. The header accepts values between 1 and 64 characters.

### Path

- `customer_id` (string, required)
  Unique customer identifier for which the payment profile is being canceled. It can be obtained by sending a request to the "Search clients" endpoint.

- `payment_profile_id` (string, required)
  Unique payment profile identifier to cancel, associated with the customer. It can be obtained by sending a request to the "Query a client's payment profi||le" endpoint.

## Response parameters

This endpoint has no response body.
