Payment status

A payment has 2 states:

  • A functional state (Status), which can be seen as a simplified or external state
  • A technical state (StatePayment), which reflects the functional state and adds information about the payment lifecycle.

This state is the one you will most likely care about. It indicates the state of the payment from an external point of view and is most likely the information an external software will require.

Functional state (Status) Description
Draft This state is not used for now, it’s added for future evolutions.
Pending The payment is pending. Generally used by direct debit.
Completed The payment is complete, the funds are either on your payment provider account or directly on your bank account.
Cancelled The payment has been cancelled
Failed The payment attempt ended with a failure
Reversed This is a reversal of a previous payment, because of a refund or a chargeback

This state is useful only if you want more accurate information about a payment. It gives more accurate information about the reason the payment ended is the given state.
