Payments

Retrieve payment status

Changed on

Retrieves how far a payment has got and what the buyer must do next, if anything. A payment is collected in the background, so poll this rather than reading the create response. Accepts either a secret key or the payment's own client_secret, so the surface collecting the payment can poll it directly.

get/payments/{payment_id}/status

status'requires_confirmation' | 'requires_action' | 'requires_capture' | 'confirming' | 'processing' | 'succeeded' | 'canceled' required

How far the payment has got. requires_confirmation — nothing attempted yet, or the last attempt failed and can be retried. requires_action — the buyer has a step outstanding; see next_action. requires_capture — the card authorization is holding funds and must be captured. confirming — the buyer has done their part and the processor is deciding. processing — with processing_details, the money is moving; without them, the charge is still being decided and the status should be read again. succeeded — collected. canceled — voided or written off.
