# Orders and operation paradigm

Payments are represented as orders. Orders keep general information about payment as well as cardholder details. Transactions are represented as a sequence of operations associated with the order, for instance: authorize, charge, and refund.

Order is associated with a unique ID upon creation, which is used in following requests regarding this order.

## <mark style="color:blue;">Order Status</mark>

Status represents the current order state.

<table><thead><tr><th width="160">Status</th><th width="404">Description</th><th>Possible operations</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>new</td><td>Order has been created, but has yet to be processed</td><td><strong>-</strong></td></tr><tr><td>prepared</td><td>Waiting for outside action</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>authorized</td><td>Authorization completed</td><td>reverse, charge, rebill</td></tr><tr><td>charged</td><td>The order has been charged</td><td>refund, credit, rebill</td></tr><tr><td>reversed</td><td>The authorisation has been cancelled</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>refunded</td><td>The order was fully or partially refunded</td><td>refund, credit, rebill</td></tr><tr><td>rejected</td><td>The order has been rejected</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>fraud</td><td>The order has been determined as a fraud and rejected because of that</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>declined</td><td>The order has been declined by the acquirer</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>chargedback</td><td>Order is marked as chargeback</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>credited</td><td>Order has been credited (OCT)</td><td>rebill</td></tr><tr><td>error</td><td>An error occurred during order processing.
