Order Status Lifecycle

Your order will move through different states as it progresses. Understanding these states helps you know what to expect and what actions to take.
StatusMeaningWhat It Means for You
PLACEDOrder created and pending active handlingYour order is in the queue waiting for merchant assignment
ACCEPTEDA merchant accepted the orderA merchant has been matched to your order and will begin processing
PAIDPayment leg was marked paid in protocol flowPayment has been confirmed by one party in the transaction
COMPLETEDSettlement path finished successfullyYour order is complete and all funds have been transferred
CANCELLEDOrder was cancelled or expiredThe order did not complete and has been terminated
Your order status (PLACED, ACCEPTED, PAID, COMPLETED, CANCELLED) tells you what stage you’re at. Each status implies a specific next action, and the app will guide you through it.

When to Take Action

If your order remains in PLACED for longer than expected:
  • Merchant assignment depends on availability and eligibility
  • Wait for the timeout period specified in the app
  • Consider canceling and recreating the order if needed
If your order stays in ACCEPTED without progressing:
  • Check if you need to complete any required actions (payment, confirmation, etc.)
  • Verify you’ve followed all instructions provided in the app
  • Contact support if the merchant is not responding
If your order remains in PAID status:
  • The counterparty may be completing their settlement actions
  • Wait for the specified time window
  • Use in-app support/escalation if the delay exceeds normal processing time
  • Check dispute eligibility if conditions are met
If your order remains in a state longer than expected, use in-app support/escalation and check dispute eligibility.
