# What are payment statuses and what do they mean?

The following is a list of different payment statuses you may see in your MONEI dashboard. [Consult this list](https://docs.monei.com/apis/rest/#tag/Status-codes) for possible response/error payment codes our API can return.

## Payment status list[​](#payment-status-list "Direct link to Payment status list")

Here's an overview of what each status means in your dashboard:

* **Started.** The payment is being processed and is awaiting completion.
* **Pending processing.** The payment was submitted to the processor and is awaiting confirmation.
* **Succeeded.** The payment was successfully processed and the funds were captured.
* **Uncaptured.** The payment was authorized, but the funds have not been captured yet. Authorized payments expire after **7 days** by default — capture before then or the authorization is released. You can extend this to up to 30 days by [contacting support](https://support.monei.com/hc/requests/new).
* **Failed.** The payment attempt was unsuccessful.
* **Canceled.** The payment was canceled before it was completed.
* **Expired.** The payment expired without being completed.
* **Refunded.** The full payment amount was refunded.
* **Partially refunded.** Only part of the payment amount was refunded.
* **Paid out.** A payout to the customer completed successfully — funds were sent from your MONEI balance. Applies only to `PAYOUT` transactions.

## How a payment moves between statuses[​](#how-a-payment-moves-between-statuses "Direct link to How a payment moves between statuses")

A payment's status depends on how it's processed. There are three common flows.

### Standard payment[​](#standard-payment "Direct link to Standard payment")

The customer pays and the funds are captured right away. A captured payment can later be fully or partially refunded.

<!-- -->

### Authorize and capture[​](#authorize-and-capture "Direct link to Authorize and capture")

The funds are authorized first and captured later. Once captured, the payment follows the same refund path as a standard payment.

<!-- -->

### Payout to a customer[​](#payout-to-a-customer "Direct link to Payout to a customer")

A payout sends money from your MONEI balance to a customer — the reverse of a normal payment.

## API status values[​](#api-status-values "Direct link to API status values")

In the API, a payment's `status` is the value behind each dashboard label. Most match one-to-one; the two that differ are `PENDING` (shown as **Started**) and `AUTHORIZED` (shown as **Uncaptured**).

| API `status`         | Dashboard label    |
| -------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PENDING`            | Started            |
| `PENDING_PROCESSING` | Pending processing |
| `SUCCEEDED`          | Succeeded          |
| `AUTHORIZED`         | Uncaptured         |
| `FAILED`             | Failed             |
| `CANCELED`           | Canceled           |
| `EXPIRED`            | Expired            |
| `REFUNDED`           | Refunded           |
| `PARTIALLY_REFUNDED` | Partially refunded |
| `PAID_OUT`           | Paid out           |
