Lifecycle of a payment deferred for more than 3 days

  • Automatic validation mode

  1. 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.

  2. The transaction can have one of the following statuses depending on the response to the order creation request:
    • "Cancelled" (CANCELLED), if the buyer abandons the payment
    • "Refused" (REFUSED), if PayPal returns an error upon order creation
    • "Waiting for authorization" (WAITING_AUTHORISATION), if PayPal accepts the order creation request.

  3. The "Waiting for authorization" (WAITING_AUTHORISATION) status changes to:
    • "Refused" (REFUSED), if PayPal declines the authorization request.
    • "Waiting for capture" (AUTHORISED), if PayPal accepts the authorization request..

  4. The "Waiting for capture" (AUTHORISED) status changes to:
    • "Captured" (CAPTURED), if PayPal accepts the fund transfer
    • "Control in progress" (UNDER_VERIFICATION), if PayPal places the payment on hold (due to suspected fraud or awaiting fund transfer)

      The Monetico Retail gateway automatically interrogates PayPal to obtain the final result (REFUSED or CAPTURED).
