Payment Statuses

A payment goes through different stages. These stages define the status of each payment transaction.

Below you can see the available payment statuses, when the order is paid online in the Sana webstore.

In progress

Pending confirmation about payment transaction from the payment provider. The payment must be processed before the funds are transferred to the merchant account. Therefore, there is usually a delay between when the customer pays for the order and when the merchant receives the payment.

When the payment transaction is successfully completed and merchants receive money on their account, the payment provider will inform Sana to update payment status of the order.

Paid

When Sana Commerce Cloud receives confirmation from the payment provider that the order has been paid successfully.

The payment status of the orders that are paid on account by B2B customers and sales agents is always Paid. That is because using the on account payment type, B2B customers do not pay online through a payment gateway while placing an order. Merchants invoice their customers later and receive funds based on the agreements between two parties.

The payment statuses of the orders that are paid partially based on the prepayment % of a B2B customer are the same as for the orders that are paid fully online. For example, if 10% prepayment of the total sales order amount is required, and that 10% prepayment has been paid successfully, the payment status will be Paid. B2B customers pay the remaining amount depending on the agreements they have with a merchant.
