Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

An Account API key, an App API key, an account access token, an account-scoped user token, or a user OAuth token. Prepend the key or token with Bearer, for example Bearer ***************************. See Auth & API keys for how to get each one.

Path Parameters

payment_id

string

required

The unique identifier of the payment.

Response

Payment status retrieved

account

object | null

required

The account receiving this payment, or null when the payment has no associated account.

Show child attributes

auto_capture_at

string | null

required

When Whop will capture this authorization automatically, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. null when no automatic capture was requested.

Example:

null

capture_expires_at

string | null

required

When the card authorization must be captured, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. null when this payment was not authorized for later capture.

Example:

"2026-01-01T12:00:00.000Z"

string

required

The payment this status describes, prefixed pay_.

Example:

"pay_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

last_payment_error

object | null

required

Details of the most recent failed attempt, or null when the payment has not failed.

Show child attributes

next_action

Redirect · object

required

What the buyer must do next while status is requires_action, otherwise null. type picks the shape and each variant carries only its own data, so switching on type gives you exactly that step's payload. The collect_card_present step is served only to a credential holding payment:charge on the account; any other reader sees null while the tap is outstanding.

Redirect
Display instructions
Await confirmation
Collect card present

Show child attributes

object

string

required

Always payment_status.

Example:

"payment_status"

processing_details

object | null

required

Present while status is processing on a settlement rail, otherwise null. A processing status without it has not been decided yet — keep polling.

Show child attributes

return_url

string | null

required

Where to send the buyer once the payment reaches a resting state, or null to leave them where they are. Editable until they return — see the return_url operation.

Example:

"https://shinetime.example/checkout/done"

status

enum<string>

required

How far the payment has got. requires_confirmation — nothing attempted yet, or the last attempt failed and can be retried. requires_action — the buyer has a step outstanding; see next_action. requires_capture — the card authorization is holding funds and must be captured. confirming — the buyer has done their part and the processor is deciding. processing — with processing_details, the money is moving; without them, the charge is still being decided and the status should be read again. succeeded — collected. canceled — voided or written off.

Available options:

requires_confirmation,

requires_action,

requires_capture,

confirming,

processing,

succeeded,

canceled

Example:

"succeeded"
