Active or inactive payment link

A payment link is active or inactive. it becomes inactive under the following conditions:

you revoke the link
the expiration date has passed (if not set, the link expires 15 minutes after creation).
a payment request has been successfully initiated from the link.

While a Payment Link is active, customers can make multiple attempts to use it. Each attempt creates a new Payment Request with its own status.

Here are the possible Payment Link statuses:

Status	Description
`VALID`	The Payment Link is valid and can be used. No payment has been initiated from it.
`EXPIRED` (final)	The link has expired due its expiration date, with no payment initiation.
`REVOKED` (final)	The Payment Link has been revoked, and no payment has been initiated from it.
`COMPLETED` (final)	A payment has been successfully initiated from the link.

Payment link completion

A payment link is COMPLETED when your customer has successfully confirmed the payment on his bank interface. Be aware that in some rare cases, a payment can be rejected by the bank after a successful initiation. For example, if the bank detects a fraud, the payment request will be rejected but the payment link will keep the final status COMPLETED. In that case, you have to create a new payment link to get paid.
