Payment Methods are how Liberis receives payment from Merchants. A given Merchant Payment Account (MPA) can have any number of Payment Methods attached to it, and they can all be independently managed.

Typically, a payment method for a payment processor represents a single MID or checkout page. For marketplaces this can be a seller ID or store ID.We support cases where we are collecting money of multiple payment methods for a given merchant

State

A Payment Method always has a current state.

Name	Meaning
`INACTIVE`	There is no active split for this merchant. This could be because a previous split has been stopped or because this split has not yet started.
`VALIDATED`	The merchant details and split have been validated, but are not yet active.
`ACTIVE`	The merchant split is active and Liberis is receiving split payments from the Payment Processor.
`PAUSED`	The merchant split is active but the current balance is 0. As there is still an active contract in place with the merchant the split must remain in place.

Transitions

The state of a Payment Method will transition based upon Actions being completed by the Payment Processor.
