You can’t cancel a purchase. It will go through now. You can cancel a subscription and if that is what you are asking about, the see the link that frazzm737 posted for you.


If you want to plead your case about an accidental purchase with Apple and ask for a refund, see this.

Since you have to confirm every purchase before it goes through, it’s pretty tough to make an accidental purchase.
