Understanding Payment Statuses
Understand what each payment status means in your Inflow Dashboard.
Overview
Each payment processed through Inflow includes a status label to help you understand its progress and outcome. These statuses reflect key points in the lifecycle of a transaction—from initiation to settlement.
Status Reference Table
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Incomplete | The payment was initiated but not completed by the customer. |
| Authorized | Funds have been approved but are not yet settled to your account. |
| Settled | Payment has been successfully received and added to your balance. |
| Failed | The payment failed (e.g., due to bank error, invalid account, or timeout). |
| Canceled | The user canceled the payment before it could be completed. |
Status Use Cases
- Incomplete: May occur if the customer leaves the checkout page.
- Authorized: Useful for delayed settlement methods such as cards.
- Failed: Review error logs or customer contact if recurring.
- Settled: The transaction has been finalized and funds are available.
