## TL;DR

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. A payment flows buyer request to Authorization to capture to Transfer to Settlement.

## Fix

1. 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.
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

## When to use

- You are setting up or using this Finix payment lifecycle feature.
- The symptom matches: authorization to settlement, each state has a webhook.

## When NOT to use

- Unrelated Finix payment lifecycle issues (different feature, different failure).
- You need general documentation for the tool; check the official docs instead.

## Variant phrasings

## Why it happens

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