# payment.created

> A payment was created and awaits buyer action. Payload reference and example for the payment.created webhook event.

Initial snapshot: no lifecycle stage has happened yet, so every stage object is `null` and `payment_state_version` is `0`.

| `data.status`     | Stage objects populated | Stage objects always `null`                                          |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `requires_action` | none                    | `processing`, `success`, `failed`, `cancelled`, `expired`, `settled` |

Every field is documented in the [event overview](/payments/webhook-event-reference).
