Payment

A Payment records a financial transaction between the webshop and a customer — the actual receipt of money for a confirmed order. It references the paying partner, the bank connection or payment method used, the currency, the payment amount, and the date of payment. Once a payment is recorded it is linked to the accounting system (FI module) for ledger posting and reconciliation.

In the ECommerce context, Payment records are created automatically when an online payment (credit card, bank transfer, payment service provider) is confirmed, providing a complete audit trail from order placement through to cash receipt.
