# Payments & Billing (/docs/payments)



Resytech integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing across all channels. Every payment -- whether collected online during checkout, charged via a card reader at your location, or recorded manually by staff -- is tracked against the booking balance and logged with a full audit trail.

Payment Sources [#payment-sources]

Payments in Resytech are associated with one of three source types:

* **Booking** -- Standard payment for a reservation or booking
* **Gift Card** -- Payment for an online gift card purchase
* **POS** -- Point-of-sale transaction for merchandise or extras

Transaction Statuses [#transaction-statuses]

Each transaction carries a status that updates automatically:

| Status             | Meaning                                                                |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `succeeded`        | Payment was captured and confirmed                                     |
| `partial_refund`   | Part of the payment has been refunded                                  |
| `refunded`         | The full payment amount has been refunded                              |
| `processing`       | Payment is still being processed by the bank                           |
| `requires_action`  | Customer needs to complete additional authentication (e.g., 3D Secure) |
| `requires_capture` | Payment has been authorized but not yet captured                       |

Booking Balance [#booking-balance]

Every booking maintains a running **balance** that reflects the total amount still owed. When a payment is recorded, the balance decreases. When a refund is issued, the balance increases. You can view the current balance on any booking detail page in the dashboard.
