Payment lifecycle
Efficiently manage and track alternative payments with real-time updates

It is essential to differentiate between an order and a transaction when dealing with payments, as each has a distinct role in the payment process. An order signifies a customer’s request to buy goods or services records of the intended purchase. On the other hand, a transaction refers to the actual movement of funds corresponding to that order.

This methodical approach enables tracking the life cycle of an order and its associated transactions, ensuring effective management of both operational and financial aspects.
