The table below lists the various payment states and provides a brief description about each.
Status
Description
Created
A payment is created when the customer submits payment details to Razorpay. The payment has not been processed at this stage.
Authorized
When the customer's payment details are successfully authenticated by the bank, the Payment state changes to Authorized.
The amount deducted from the customerโs account by Razorpay is not settled to your account until the payment is captured, either manually or automatically.
There can be scenarios where payment is interrupted due to external factors, such as network issues or technical errors at the customer's or bank's end. In this case, the amount may get debited from the customer's bank account but the payment status is not received by Razorpay from the bank. This is termed as Late Authorization.
Captured
The payment status changes to captured when the authorized payment is verified to be complete by Razorpay.
The amount is settled to your account as per the settlement schedule of the bank.
The captured amount must be the same as the authorized amount.
Any authorization not followed by a capture within 5 days is automatically voided and the amount is refunded to the customer.
Refunded
The amount is refunded to the customer's account.
Failed
Any unsuccessful transaction is marked as failed. The customer will have to retry the payment.
