## Payment states <a href="#status-der-zahlungen" id="status-der-zahlungen"></a>

Payment transactions go through various statuses. Further information on their meaning and the actions available at each stage can be found below.

### Processing request <a href="#anfrage-wird-bearbeitet" id="anfrage-wird-bearbeitet"></a>

The payment request has been submitted to the airfield and is being processed. This usually takes approximately 1-2 minutes. Once the airfield has responded with a preview invoice and the total amount, the request will change status to "Pay now".

It is not necessary to wait – you will also receive the preview invoice with a payment link by email and can complete the process when it is convenient for you.

Available actions:

* None

### Pay now <a href="#zur-zahlung-bereit" id="zur-zahlung-bereit"></a>

The airport has compiled the preview invoice based on the criteria defined in your payment request. Please check the preview invoice for correctness. You may then complete the payment by pressing **\<Pay now>**. The preview invoice with payment link has also been sent to the email-address provided.

Please only complete the payment if you agree with the contents of the preview invoice.
