When a transaction is created, we check with the customer’s bank to see if the payment method is legitimate and has sufficient funds to pay. If the customer's bank approves, the transaction will be given an authorized status. Eventually, all authorizations will expire unless submitted for settlement.


In order to collect funds, a transaction needs to be submitted for settlement. This happens by default when creating transactions via the Control Panel, but via the API, it needs to be specified in the sale API call.


When we begin communicating with the processor about the settlement request, the transaction will move from Submitted for Settlement to Settling. Once the money hits your merchant account, the transaction will display as Settled, and the funds will be routed to your bank account within a few business days depending on the payment type.
