Lifecycle of a immediate payment
- As soon as a payment is initialized, the gateway creates a transaction with the "Waiting for payment" status (WAITING_FOR_PAYMENT).
By default, the merchant website is not notified.
- The transaction can have one of the following statuses depending on the response to the payment request:
- "Cancelled" (CANCELLED), if the buyer abandons the payment
- "Refused" (REFUSED), if PayPal declines the authorization request.
- "Captured" (CAPTURED), if PayPal accepts the authorization request and transfers the funds.
- "Control in progress" (UNDER_VERIFICATION), if PayPal places the payment on hold due to suspected fraud or waiting for fund transfer.
The platform automatically queries PayPal for the final result (REFUSED or CAPTURED).
