# Transaction states

> Understand the payment lifecycle and the statuses a transaction can pass through.

### Payment Life Flow

That's the standard path following a successful transaction versus one that isn't complete.

<Steps>
  <Step title="outstanding (PENDING)" icon="hourglass-half">
    The transaction's been initiated. In methods such as transfers or bills, we are awaiting user confirmation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorisation (AUTHORIZED)" icon="shield-check">
    The issuer has approved the payment. The funds are booked to the client's account but have been still to be transferred to your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Liquid (SETTLED)" icon="money-bill-transfer">
    Success! The money has been processed and entered into the authorization cycle to be deposited with your bank account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Flow of states

That's the flow of states that conduct a transaction at the platform:

* **Home**: Any operation starts as **Registered** and goes to **Outstanding** while processing.
* **Resolution**: From an outstanding date, payment can be **Authorisation** (success), **Rejected** (rejection), **Cancelled / Expand**(abandonment) or **Invalid** (data error).
* **Closure**: Once authorized, the flow advances to **Liquid** (collection of funds) and end up **Subscriber**.
* **Post-sale**: Allows applying a **Extornado** (cancellation before disposal) or **Rejected** (Retirement after liquidation).
