[Finix docs via a former technical writer]: a payment flows buyer request to Authorization to capture to Transfer to Settlement. Map each state change to its webhook and dashboard view when debugging a stuck payment: a payment that shows captured but never settles is almost always a webhook or settlement-step issue, not a lost transaction. Learn the full lifecycle first; feature-by-feature reference alone leaves gaps when a payment stalls between states.

Context: A Finix payment moves through Authorization, capture, Transfer, Settlement, and every transition fires a webhook.
