Payment	A single movement of funds with an origin, a destination, a type, and a product. Payments transition through a lifecycle of statuses. See Payment structure.
Payment attempt	A pre-created payment reservation that has not yet received funds. Common on rails where the payer completes the transfer asynchronously (CVU, PIX).

Compliance terms

Term	Definition
Operation level	A Customer tier — INACTIVE → BASIC → STANDARD → FULL — that controls per-transaction amount limits and the review gate. See Customer operation levels.
Documented customer	A customer with at least one APPROVED document. Documented customers bypass the review gate.
Review gate	The REQUIRES_REVIEW state applied when a transaction crosses its compliance threshold and the customer is not yet documented.
Originante	The payer initiating a topup from their bank. The originante's identity data (name, document number) is captured on inbound transfers and surfaced on the payment.
KYC	Know Your Customer — identity verification required before a customer is considered documented.

Rails and nodes

Term	Definition
Rail	An external payment network — PIX, CVU, ACH, SEPA, etc. Each rail is represented as a node type in the API.
Node	An element of a payment's origins or destinations array. Every node has a type (the rail identifier) and a rail-specific sub-object. See Origins and destinations.
Payment node	Synonym for node.
Pay-in rail	A rail used to bring funds into the platform (CVU, PIX, ETPAY, etc.).
Pay-out rail	A rail used to send funds out of the platform (BANK_ACCOUNT, SPEI, ACH, etc.).
Static CVU	A fixed CVU code assigned to an identity. Topups to this code require manual reconciliation against an account.
Dynamic CVU	A unique CVU code allocated per payment attempt. Topups to this code auto-match the attempt. See CVU.

Other terms

Term	Definition
Product	A currency pair in the form purchaseCurrency:currency (for example ARS:USD). Identifies the FX leg of a payment.
Tenant	A client on the platform. Every API call is scoped to a tenant via clientId.
Webhook	HTTP callback the platform sends to your endpoint when a transaction changes state. See Webhooks.
Idempotency	Inbound rail notifications are deduplicated internally by (provider, providerReference) so the same external event never produces two payments. No client-side idempotency header is required or supported on payment creation.
