What does each transaction status mean?

Transaction statuses aim to show you what is happening with a transaction and where in the transaction lifecycle it currently is.

The statuses are:

• Created: the first status a transaction will have, is “Created”; this means that it exists.
• Approved: when funding for the payment has been received or guaranteed, the transaction status will be updated to approved.
• Completed: once the recipient collects/receives the proceeds from the transaction, the status will be completed.
• Cancelled: if a payment is cancelled, expired, or the transaction is removed before the payment is approved, the status will be cancelled.
• Credited: if a payment is cancelled, expired, or the transaction is removed after the payment was approved, the status will be credited.
• Paused: when there is any issue on a transaction, it will have a paused status while the Mukuru team investigates.
