---------------
A PaymentProcess is used to define the way the payment process works as in: what states a Payment can be
in, and how it may transition from one state to another. Using the `onTransitionStart()` hook, a
PaymentProcess can perform checks before allowing a state transition to occur, and the `onTransitionEnd()`
hook allows logic to be executed after a state change.
For detailed description of the interface members, see the [StateMachineConfig](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/state-machine/state-machine-config#statemachineconfig) docs.
:::info
This is configured via the `paymentOptions.process` property of
