BPMN notation .Payment concepts are described in detail in the Business process section.
For more information on the order lifecycle, see Order lifecycle BPM .

When the order has been fulfilled or canceled, the payment workflow is
initiated. When an order is successfully fulfilled , the
fulfillment_request.items_completed event is emitted and the order
moves into the payment authorization phase.
The authorization of the payment depends on the mode of payment. Pre-captured payments are considered by NewStore as authorized.
Payment for an order at NewStore can be done via the following methods:
- Cash: An associate receives cash payment in the store from the customer and marks the payment process as completed in NewStore Associate App.
- Credit card: When the customer pays for an order using a credit card, NewStore authorizes the payment. The authorization process is marked as completed in the platform. This includes credit card payments made through NewStore Checkout .
- Gift card: A customer can also pay for an order by redeeming a
gift card. The payment is captured and authorized in the platform. See Integrating a gift card provider .
Once the payment authorization is processed in NewStore Omnichannel
Cloud, the payment_account.amount_authorized event is emitted.
