Payments come in three statuses: Processing, Completed, or Failed.

You can view a record of your payments from Payments > Payment Status.

Payments you’ve made manually or with a Gift Card will automatically be recorded as Completed, because these processes are direct.

Payments you’ve made via a payment platform such as PayPal Payouts or Payment Rails can come back with any of the 3 statuses, and the information is posted as it comes into Refersion. This status depends on how the payment method was set up, and a number of other checks that can happen on the payment platform side.

Note: For PayPal only, you may see a status of Unclaimed for an individual affiliate. If you see this status, we recommend waiting until the funds are returned to PayPal, then reprocessing the payment.

What you can do from the Payment Status Page

For payments made via PayPal Payouts or Payment Rails, you can click Details to:
