Capture Charge	Blue	Transaction has been approved and captured, and will be sent for settlement at the transaction cut-off time. Also used for transactions pending final settlement through international processor connections — these update to "Settled" after approximately 5 days.
Settled	Green	Transaction has been approved and successfully settled.
Expired	Gray	Transaction was authorized but never captured, typically expiring around 30 days after authorization. Also applies to transactions held by Advanced Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS) filters set to "Do Not Authorize and Hold for Review," which expire after 5 days if no action is taken.
Voided	Gray	Transaction has been voided and will not be sent for settlement. No further action can be taken.
Declined	Yellow	Transaction was not approved at the processor. These transactions cannot be captured or submitted for settlement.
Refunded	Green	Transaction has been submitted and authorized for refund.
Captured Refund	Blue	Transaction has been submitted for a refund and will be sent for settlement at the transaction cut-off time.
Pending Release	Blue	Transaction is part of a larger order. Each individual transaction pays for part of the total order amount.

Requires manual review — transactions may expire if no action is taken

2.0 Status badge	Badge color	Notes
Urgent Fraud Review	Red	Transaction triggered one or more fraud filters set to "Authorize and hold for review." You have 30 days to manually review. If no action is taken, the transaction will expire. Appears in the To Review quick filter.
Fraud Review	Red	Transaction triggered one or more fraud filters set to "Do not authorize, but hold for review." You have 5 days to manually review. If no action is taken, the transaction will expire. Appears in the To Review quick filter.

Action required: Red-badged transactions require timely manual review. Check the To Review quick filter regularly to avoid transactions expiring without resolution.

Error statuses

Processing error statuses

All error statuses appear in the Errors quick filter unless noted

2.0 Status badge	Badge color	Notes
Communication Error	Yellow	A communication error occurred during processing.
General Error	Yellow	A general processing error occurred.
Could Not Void	Yellow	A processing error occurred during a void attempt. The void may be resubmitted if the batch is still open.
Settlement Error	Yellow	Can result from one of the following scenarios: Entire batch with Settlement Error: All transactions in the batch show this status, which may indicate the batch initially failed. If the batch was not reset within 30 days, further action cannot be taken. Contact your Merchant Service Provider (MSP) if funding is missing. Partial batch with Settlement Error: One or more (but not all) transactions show this status. This may indicate a configuration issue where the processor authorized but rejected transactions at settlement. Ask your MSP to investigate with the processor. ARB Transaction with Settlement Error: An Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) transaction receives this status if the trial amount is set to $0.00.
Timeout	Yellow	The transaction timed out during processing.
Timeout - Reversed	Yellow	The transaction timed out and was subsequently reversed.
