# payment.processing

> The buyer committed to a payment option and the payment started processing. Payload reference and example for the payment.processing webhook event.

`processing` is populated from this point on.

In this example the buyer pays 10 USDC on Base for a \$10.00 payment, a 2.9% fee applies, and the merchant is expected to receive 9.71 USDC. `processing.buyer_caip10` is `null` instead when the payment has no on-chain buyer, and `live` is `false` for test-mode payments.

| `data.status` | Stage objects populated                                      | Stage objects always `null`                            |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `processing`  | [`processing`](/payments/webhook-event-reference#processing) | `success`, `failed`, `cancelled`, `expired`, `settled` |

Every field is documented in the [event overview](/payments/webhook-event-reference).
