The expected payment object

An expected payment is a payment that you expect to be credited or debited on your connected account.

While a payment order is initiated through Numeral, an expected payment is a payment that is not initiated through Numeral, but that you nonetheless want to track and reconcile with a transaction.

An expected payment is typically a payment expected from a customer or a payment service provider.
