Request accepted vs. operation completed
Payward can accept an API request before finishing the work it starts. For example, when you request execution of a swap quote, the quote’sstatus field changes to executing, meaning the trade is in progress. It changes to executed after the trade settles.
Read the operation’s documented status before showing success. An HTTP success response alone may only confirm acceptance.
Active rule vs. completed transaction
A conversion rule with astatus of active is ready to process matching deposits. It doesn’t mean a deposit arrived or a conversion completed. Each resulting transaction has its own progress and outcome.
See rule lifecycle and conversion transactions.
Execution vs. settlement
Execution performs the trade. Settlement completes the associated movement of assets. For a conversion transaction, thesettling status means the conversion has occurred but delivery to the destination is still in progress.
Status names and completion conditions vary by operation. Swaps can exchange crypto for crypto or trade between crypto and fiat. A completed swap means the trade has settled. Any later withdrawal or transfer is a separate operation with its own status. See Swaps.
Operation status vs. account history
An operation can complete before its transaction appears in Portfolio. For transfers, astatus value of complete in the create response doesn’t guarantee immediate visibility in account history. The transfer ID and Portfolio transaction ID are different identifiers.
Use the documented status and matching fields to determine the outcome. See Transfer reconciliation.
