Advantages
- Single successful payment bound to an order. Prevents multiple payments.
- Quick and easy query in the database. Combines multiple payment attempts for a single order.
Order States
Following are the various states of an order:
Status | Description
created | When a new order is created, it is in the created state. It stays in this state until payment is attempted on it.
attempted | An order moves from created to attempted state when payment is first attempted on it. It remains in the attempted state until a payment associated with that order is captured.
paid | After the payment is captured successfully, the order moves to the paid state. No further payment requests are allowed once the order moves to the paid state. The order continues to be in the paid state even if the payment associated with the order is refunded.
Watch Out!If an order is in an attempted state with the associated payment id in the authorized state, initiating another payment using the same order id is not allowed.
