Payment Actions in Websphere Commerce

HOME




A payment action moves a payment state to a target state. Payment actions are triggered by payment rules based on the payment method, payment event, and payment state.

The following list shows some payment actions:

• A credit card payment method and the PrimePayment payment event (triggered during the order capture phase) result in an Approve action.
• A credit card payment method and the ReservePayment payment event (triggered during the release to fulfillment phase) result in a Deposit action.
• An electronic check (ACH) payment method and the PrimePayment payment event (triggered during the order capture phase) result in a Deposit action.

The CorePaymentActions XML file specifies payment actions.
