Payment statuses and descriptions
Status Description
Pending Orders have the Payment pending status for one of the following reasons:
  • During checkout, a customer pays with adifferent payment method than credit card. In this case, the Payment pending status indicates that the payment provider has started processing, but needs time to complete the payment. The order is created, customers can complete the checkout, and inventory is reserved for the order, but payment isn’t guaranteed.
  • You create an order, checkPayment due later, and then set the payment terms.
  • Manual payment methods, such as Cash On Delivery, are activated for your store. An order is created using a manual payment method.
Authorized

The payment provider validated your customer’s payment information. The Authorized status is only displayed if you capture payments manually and it is your cue to capture payments before the authorization period expires. The Authorized payment status is used with credit card and some other payment methods.

The order is created, customers can complete their checkout, and inventory is reserved.

Overdue Payment wasn't captured before the due date that was set in thepayment termson an order that had the Payment pending status.
Expiring Expiring isn't a payment status, but the Expiring badge is displayed two days before the deadline for capturing payment on orders that have the Authorized payment status.
Expired

Payment wasn't captured before thedate that was set by the payment provideron an order that had the Authorized payment status.

Some payment providers that provide alternatives to credit card and cash payments, use the Expired status to indicate that they were unable to process the payment. Contact your payment provider to see if the payment can still be captured.
