Distinguish payment details from a confirmed receipt

The action label reflects whether the payment has a receipt-bearing status.

Updated 2026-11-11

Payment history uses View receipt for paid, partially refunded, and refunded records. Other states use View payment details so you can inspect the attempt without treating it as a completed payment.

Open the record and read Payment status alongside Total and Date. Awaiting payment, Payment processing, and Payment authentication required describe different incomplete steps. An amount shown on the page is not by itself proof that it was collected.

If the record provides Open Stripe invoice, use that verified link for the associated provider record. Check the provider’s state and return to Billing for the current workspace status.

When discussing a payment with support, quote the displayed status and order reference instead of calling every record a receipt. For a failed attempt, inspect the appropriate retry path. For a processing attempt, check the latest state before paying again. This helps avoid treating an unconfirmed attempt as a second purchase or confusing a refund record with a new charge.
