Payment statuses (also called payment actions) refer to the various statuses that a payment goes through.
For example, a card payment might go from being authorized (AUTH) to captured (CAPTURE) before finally being refunded (REFUND). Each of these statuses will be displayed in the Action column of the Dashboard Payments screen, as well as in Payment details.
To view a list of all possible statuses and what they mean, see our payment actions guide.
