# About transaction statuses

> Learn about the different statuses that a transaction can have, depending on its order type.

<Info>
  For card transactions, the final outcome is described by a response code rather than a status. See [About transaction response codes](/pages/transactions/about-card-transaction-response-codes) for the full list of card transaction response codes.
