Understanding Invoice Payment Statuses in Lumanu
When you receive an invoice through Lumanu, you can check its payment status directly in your workspace.
Each status shows where the invoice is in the payment process and whether any action is still required from the brand or team issuing the payment.
How to View Your Invoice Status
Log in to your Lumanu Workspace
Navigate to Invoices
The current status will appear on the line of the invoice
Below is an explanation of the most common invoice statuses.
In Review
Status: In Review
This means the invoice has been created and submitted for approval, but it has not yet been approved or paid by the brand or agency issuing the payment.
At this stage:
The team is reviewing the invoice internally
The invoice still needs to be approved
Payment has not yet been initiated
Once the invoice is approved and paid, the status will update and your funds will move to your Lumanu balance.
Approved (Awaiting Payment)
Status: Approved
This means the invoice has been approved by the team, but payment has not yet been completed.
At this stage:
The invoice has passed the approval process
The team still needs to complete the payment
Funds are not yet available in your Lumanu balance
Once the payment is processed, the invoice status will change to Paid.
Approved / Processing
Status: Approved or Processing
Sometimes an invoice may show as Approved or Processing while the payment is being finalized.
This means:
The invoice has already been approved
The team has initiated the payment
Lumanu is waiting for the payment to finalize
Once the payment finishes processing, the invoice status will update to Paid.
Paid
Status: Paid
This means the payment has been successfully processed.
At this stage:
You will receive an email notification
The funds will appear in your Lumanu balance
You can withdraw or transfer the funds to your connected account
When Will I Receive My Payment?
You will be able to access your funds once the invoice status changes to “Paid.”
At that point:
The funds will be available in your Lumanu balance
You can transfer or withdraw the funds to your connected account
Why Haven’t I Been Paid Yet?
If you do not see an invoice in your Lumanu Workspace or need an update on when a payment will be issued, we recommend reaching out directly to the brand or agency issuing the payment for the most accurate timeline.
To clarify:
Lumanu acts as the payment processor
The brand or agency is the payment issuer
Payment terms and timing (such as Net terms) are determined by the brand or agency
Because of this, the brand issuing the payment will be able to provide the most accurate estimated payment timeline.
