Payment Session

In this document, you’ll learn what a payment session is.

What's a Payment Session?#

A payment session, represented by the PaymentSession data model, is a payment amount to be authorized. It’s associated with a payment provider that handles authorizing it.

A payment collection can have multiple payment sessions. Using this feature, you can implement payment in installments or payments using multiple providers.

Payment providers may need additional data to process the payment later. The PaymentSession data model has a data property used to store that data.

For example, the customer's ID in Stripe is stored in the data property.

• authorized: The payment session is authorized.
• error: An error occurred while authorizing the payment.
