Token States for Service Provider Token

A service provider token will not have the initiated state. This is because the service provider token is created only when a token is successfully created.

Status	Description
active	The service_provider_token will have active status when the token is successfully created with token_service_providers (card networks). A service_provider_token in active status can be used for payment processing.
suspended	The service_provider_token status changes to suspended when the token is suspended temporarily by the card issuing bank or network. A suspended token may be activated again by the token provider. A suspended token cannot be used for payment processing.
failed	Razorpay failed to create the token with token service provider due to: • The card not being eligible. • The issue not being supported. • An invalid card number.
deactivated	The service provider token status will change to deactivated due to following reasons: • service_provider_token has been deleted • service_provider_token has expired • service_provider_token is deactivated by bank. The exact reason for deactivation will be provided in the status_reason parameter. Possible values for status_reason are: • expired • deactivated_by_bank A deactivated token cannot become active again and cannot be used for payment processing.

Overall Token States

A token can have following statuses:

Status	Description
initiated	This is the token’s primary state. This status indicates that Razorpay is working with token service providers to create the token. It may take a few seconds for the token to move to the active state.
active	The token reaches the active state if the status of the service_provider_token is active for at least one of the token service providers.
suspended	The token status changes to suspended: • If status is not active for all the token service providers. • If the token is in suspended state for at least one of the token service providers. A suspended token cannot be used for payment processing.
failed	The token status will be failed when the status is failed for all service providers.
deactivated	Status will be deactivated when: • Status is not active or suspended for all the token service providers. • Status of the token is deactivated for at least one of the token service providers. A deactivated token cannot be used for payment processing.
