Manage Payments

Take actions to manage payment records, including updating payment statuses.

Until a request is approved, its payments can only be set to statuses with the Projected type. Once a request is approved, its payments can be set as paid or to any other status with the Contingent, Hold, Scheduled, or Completed types. Payment status types allow unpaid payments to be canceled, and paid payments to be voided. A refunded payment record can also be created to record that some, or all, of previously paid funding has been returned.  

Payment Statuses contains details on payment status types and statuses, and Payments contains details on configuring the available statuses in your site.
