Payment method/instrument status

Payment methods onboarded to a wallet can have one of these statuses at any given time.

Status	Useable for transactions	Description
ACTIVE	YES	All good.
AUTHENTICATION_EXPIRING_SOON	YES	Should be visible to the end consumer that they need to soon perform some action, so that the payment method is not deactivated.
AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED	NO	This status will happen if for instance a payment method has expired, or the authentication towards the PPS is not complete.
NOT_SUPPORTED	NO	E.g: Payment method no longer supported by the WSP.
SUSPENDED	NO	Payment method has been deactivated, either by PPS or other reason. This can't be re-activated by the consumer.

Participating Payment System VS Payment Instrument Type

Participating payment system or PPS (participatingPaymentSystem), is a field Aera use to reflect a payment scheme. Payment Instrument type (paymentInstrumentType) is a grouping of different PPSes. For example; we have two separate PPS for VISA and MASTERCARD, but these share the same paymentInstrumentType: CARD. The table below shows how each PPS and payment instrument type fit together:

The paymentInstrumentType for the PPS XTRA will change in the next release.
