Payments overview
What is a transaction?
1 min read

The movement that money makes when exchanged for a product or service is what we call transaction. Thus, payment is only one step in a process that involves an intense flow of information exchange between several parties: gateways, sub-acquirers and/or acquirers, brands and issuing banks.

In a VTEX store, a transaction starts every time a user chooses a payment condition and closes their order. From there, the purchase data is sent for the validation of each of the members involved in this process. You can track each step of the transaction flow on the Payments. With this module, you accurately visualize the status of a payment through each status.
