# Payment Collections

A payment collection is one or more payments of an order. They're also used for outstanding payments due to order exchanges or claims.

Every purchase or request for payment starts with a payment collection.

A payment collection holds the payment sessions used to authorize the payment amount, and the payments to be captured / refunded.

These API routes allow admin users to manage payment collections.
