Stages

Payments change stage as they are processed in Debitdirect.
1

Pending schedule

When created a payment status is marked pending (value = 0)
2

Scheduled for processing

When the payment is scheduled for scheme processing, status is marked scheduled (value = 16).
3

Completed succesfully

If a payment is processed succesfully, the payment is marked settled (value = 8).
4

Completed with fault

If a payment is not processed succesfully, the payment is marked rejected (value = 64).
Some schemes allow the end-user to dispute the payment. In this case, Mastercard Payment Services may issue a charge back. In this case, the payment status is set to chargeback (value = 256) and a webhoook is sent.

​
Testing

When issuing payments against a test mandate, the payment is marked a test payment and will not be sent to the scheme.
