Essential function
This is a must have for shops with digital products. If the payment doesn't go through, no need to make it complicated. Cancel it and let the customer try again. Great to have this. Thank you

Work perfectly
Thanks, the filters to add custom parameters is fine. Just need a option for any canceled order (without type of payment)

Simple and does exactly as it should
First review because I really like this plugin. It is straightforward and works like a charm. Glad that the creator included guides on Github Wiki. Minimal editing is required. It's a pity that some comments have driven the creator to stop support. I do still hope that this remains updated and compatible. :) If the creator does read this, I have two questions that I wish to understand. 1) If I were to put 24hrs daily to cancel, from when does it start activating the countdown? 2) Is it possible to change the status to 'Failed' instead of 'Cancelled'? In any case, just want to say GREAT JOB ON THIS PLUGIN!
