Understanding the Status and Response columns:

Invoices may be paid manually using the E-Payments option on the Subscribers Form and/or the Invoice Form; automatically by implementing Fully Automated Recurring Billing and/or by using the Post Auto Draft process.

When using the E-Payments option on the Subscribers Form or the E-Pay option on the Invoice Form, and an Automatic Payment Gateway i.e., InnoEPay, Authorize.net, or Forte.net) is chosen in the Drop-Down Selection List in the Select Gateway field.

When using the Post Auto Draft process, and an Automatic Payment Gateway i.e., InnoEPay, Authorize.net, or Forte.net) is chosen in the Drop-Down Selection Lists in the Processor/Bank Credit Card payments and/or the Processor/Bank for Bank Accts payments fields.

 

Once an Invoice is "Paid" using the an Automatic Payment Gateway, this will be the basic work-flow/process for a Check (or Credit Card) payment's submission, through the final result:

1.Pending – after a Check (or Credit Card) payment transaction record is submitted to the Payment Gateway it will reflect a Pending Status until the final submission to the check processor

2.Submitted – once the Check (or Credit Card) payment transaction record has been submitted to the Processor, the Status within the Payment Gateway (and therefore this ePay Review dialog) will be reflected as Submitted until the Transaction is funded (or the payment processor reports/provides information as to why the payment transaction record will not be funding such as NSF/Account Closed).

3.Final Results: (primarily, this will be reported as Settled or Returned)

a.Funded/Settled – the Check (or Credit Card) payment transaction record has been successfully completed

b.Returned – the Check (or Credit Card) payment transaction record was not Funded/Settled so your Company will be provided the reason why - such as Insufficient Funds or Account Closed (see the list of Returned Codes chart below)

 

The Status code of each payment transaction record will change as that transaction goes through the process to ultimately be Funded (for Checks) and Settled (for Credit Cards), or Rejected for some reason.
