How It Works


Intent Lifecycle & Statuses

The Intent object manages the full journey of a payment/disbursement, from initial creation through completion, including any associated updates or reversals. An Intent can have the following statuses:


StatusDescription
CREATEDThe Intent has been created but no transactions have started processing
IN_PROGRESSAt least one linked transaction is in progress
FINALIZEDAll linked transactions have reached their final statuses

💁

Note: If a new transaction is added to an Intent after it has been finalised, the Intent status will return to IN_PROGRESS and will be finalised again when all transactions are completed.


When to Use

  • Check the status of a payment or disbursement operation.
  • View all transactions linked to a particular Intent.
  • Audit and reconcile transactions for your records.
  • Support customer queries about a specific payment process.
