// Conditional snippet for beta or internal content include::../../maturity-admonition-banner.adoc[] Use the payments endpoints to create and retrieve payments made on a <</core-api/credit-accounts, credit account>>, release payment holds, or transition payment statuses. A payment is an amount paid toward an account balance to reduce the total amount owed on the account.

To receive webhook notifications when ACH payment transition events occur, see <</core-api/event-types#_credit_account_payment_transition_events, Credit account payment transition events>> in Event Types.
