How do I view transaction status?

Step 2
Using the filter options at the top of the screen, select the tenant or type of payment status, or date range you would like to view and select Apply Filters.

View payment status in the Status column.
  1. Cancelled: Payment has been canceled.
  2. Completed: Payment fully processed and accepted.
  3. Failed: Payment was declined.
  4. Pending: Payment has been submitted and is still being processed by the payment processor.
  5. Refunded: Payment has been refunded.
  6. Refund Failed: Payment Refund was declined.
At times, a card payment will fail instantly. This is typically due to lack of available credit/funds or a processing issue due to a zip code/billing address mismatch, etc.
  1. These are not considered NSFs as they are never processed by the bank and then returned due to insufficient funds.
  2. No Yardi batch ID is created and nothing is posted into Yardi in these instances.
    1. Bank payments that fail due to insufficient funds, will show as Failed status, the NSF function will automatically run in Yardi, and the Yardi Batch Status will reflect as NSF. These payments are fully processed by the financial institution and then returned as Failed Status.
