## Payment Status in the ClickPesa Dashboard

* You can view the payment status in the [ClickPesa Dashboard](https://merchant.clickpesa.com) under the [Transactions](https://merchant.clickpesa.com/transactions) section.
* The payment statuses are updated in real-time as the payment progresses through different stages.

## Payment Status In Your Application

There are two ways to receive payment statuses in your application:

1. [Webhooks](/home/webhooks) - ClickPesa sends real-time updates to your server when a payment status changes. You can use webhooks to receive these updates.
2. **Querying** - Alternatively, you can make API calls periodically to the [query payout endpoint](/api-reference/disbursement/mno-payout/querying-for-payouts).

## Payment Status for Customers

* In Checkout, payment status is displayed to the customer in real-time.
* Additionally, the final payment notification successfully made payment is sent to the customer via their registered email or mobile phone number.
