Payments

Retrieve payment status

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

Path parameters

payment_idstring required

The unique identifier of the payment.

Response

Payment status retrieved

idstring required

The payment this status describes, prefixed pay_.

objectstring required

Always payment_status.

return_urlstring nullable required

Where to send the buyer once the payment reaches a resting state, or null to leave them where they are. Editable until they return — see the return_url operation.

status'requires_confirmation' | 'requires_action' | '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. confirming — the buyer has done their part and the processor is deciding. processing — the money is moving; see processing_details. succeeded — collected. canceled — voided or written off.
