Status Lifecycle
Every Payout progresses through a series of statuses. The statuses are the same across flows; only the wording of what each status means depends on the chosen payment method.
State Diagram
Legacy status: PROCESSING
PROCESSING is being replaced by INITIATED and AUTHORIZED. Payouts created today can still
be returned to you as PROCESSING, and older Payouts keep that status permanently, so keep
handling it — treat it as the stage before SENT, covering the ground that INITIATED and
AUTHORIZED now express separately.
Select a flow below to see the status definitions adapted to that payment method.
