Payment Status

[trozzi]

We have a client that wants to send an automated notification to a third party after payment. On the ReceiptPage.ascx there is a method GetBalance(true); true meaning to include Pending Payments. They are Authorizing and Capturing. They only want to send notification if Payment has been authorized and captured. I am unlear as to what Pending Payments means.

Thanks

I believe it refers to Google Checkout-type payments.

When a capture is performed with Google Checkout, the transaction is not immediate. In other words, AC7 pages don't wait for Google to tell them the transaction like Authorize.net payments do.

I've seen delays up to 5 minutes from the time a customer commits their Google Checkout to when the payment itself actually hits my site. During that 5-minute time delay, the status of the payment transaction will be "Payment Pending".
