Single status payment values
When you create a payment (POST /v3/payments
) or bulk payment (POST /v3/payments/bulk
), the API response includes a singleStatus
field for providing a unified payment status.
This field provides a complete view of your payment based on status
and disbursementStatus
at different stages of your payment lifecycle.
Status | Description |
---|---|
DISBURSEMENT_FAILED_ACTION_NEEDED | Disbursed payment is returned, but not voided as yet. Payer has the option to void & credit or void & reissue payment. |
DISBURSEMENT_FAILED_VENDOR_BANK_REJECTED | Disbursed payment sent to the network vendor is returned, but not voided as yet. Payer must notify the network vendor to update their bank account in BILL. |
FUNDING_FAILED_ACTION_NEEDED | BILL attempted to, but could not debit funds from the payer's funding account. However, BILL disbursed the payment, and the payer must wire funds to BILL. |

CANCELED | Payment is canceled. |
FUNDING_FAILED_VOIDED | Payment is voided and is not eligible for a credit to the payer. |
VOIDED | Payment is voided and is credited to the payer. |
CLEARED | Disbursed payment is successfully settled by the vendor bank account. For example, a check is cashed, a virtual card payment is settled, or an ePayment is deposited to the vendor bank account. Note: For ACH payments, the status is CLEARED when funds are sent to the vendor bank account. If the vendor bank rejects the payment (for reasons such as invalid vendor bank account information), the status changes to DISBURSEMENT_FAILED_ACTION_NEEDED . |
