<Info>
  To receive status updates on initiated payments, the Temenos Payments Hub payment inbound Connector listens to a dedicated Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) queue. For more information, see [Get started](/connectors/payments/temenos-payments-hub/get-started). Use `cancellationType=COMPLETE_SCHEDULE` on `POST /payments/{externalReferenceNo}/cancel` to cancel a recurring payment schedule. Payment validation and fee retrieval both call the Temenos `paymentOrders` endpoint with `validate_only=true`; the connector doesn't use a separate validate or fees URI property.
