Payments can have one of the following statuses:

Waiting for payment (waiting_for_payment — in the API methods) — the default status of any new Payment. The Payment is created but yet to be completed.
Expired — the Payment has not been completed before the Payment due date.
Cancelled — the Payment has been cancelled.
Receipt creating (receipt_creating) — a receipt for the Payment is prepared manually by the Manager (see Approving a Payment).
Receipt sent (receipt_sent) — the manually created receipt was sent to the Customer.
Processing — a temporary status of a Payment while a payment on the payment gateway side is processed. In the Processing status, all operations for a Payment are not available.
Completed — the Payment has been successfully processed (added and approved).
Paid from balance (paid_from_balance) — the Customer has paid for the Payment using the Account balance.

Only Payments with the bank transfer or cash Payment methods can have the Receipt creating and Receipt sent statuses (see Configuring Payment Methods).
Only Payments with a Payment method based on a Payment gateway connector can have the Processing status (for details, see Creating a Payment Method).
