## Mutations

* [payment​Session​Confirm](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionConfirm)

  mutation

  Initiates the confirmation process of the given payment\_session.

  Shopify will start confirming the payment. According to its business logic, Shopify determines if the payment can be authorized and sends a POST request to the payments app, delivering the confirmation result.

* [payment​Session​Modal](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionModal)

  mutation

  Raises a modal that will be displayed to the buyer after a checkout is completed. Included data will be used to populate the UI extension in the modal.

* [payment​Session​Pending](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionPending)

  mutation

  Change a payment session status to pending.

  Upon receiving the response from the `PaymentSessionPending` mutation, you must redirect the customer back to Shopify, using `redirectUrl` in `nextAction`.

  Upon completion, pending payments must be finalized into either a successful or failed state using the `paymentSessionResolve` or `paymentSessionReject` mutations. Both `sale` and `authorization` payments can be marked as pending.

* [payment​Session​Redirect](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionRedirect)

  mutation

  Redirects the buyer to the given URL for the payment session. For example, Shopify will redirect the buyer to the URL where the 3DS authentication will take place for onsite payment with `credit_card` payment method.

* [payment​Session​Reject](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionReject)

  mutation

  Rejects an open payment session. After the `paymentSessionReject` mutation completes on a given payment session, any `paymentSessionResolve` mutation attempts will fail. Subsequent `paymentSessionReject` mutation attempts will succeed, but the `RejectionReasonInput` argument will be ignored.

* [payment​Session​Resolve](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/payments-apps/latest/mutations/paymentSessionResolve)

  mutation

  Resolves an open payment session. After the `paymentSessionResolve` mutation completes on a given payment session, any `paymentSessionReject` mutation attempts will fail. Subsequent `paymentSessionResolve` mutation attempts will succeed, but the `Details` argument will be ignored.
