# Acknowledging a Purchase Request

#### Acknowledging a Purchase Request
1) After the transaction is processed, the processing center sends back a response to the Flute payment gateway.
This response includes details of the transaction, such as whether it was approved or declined.
2) The Flute payment gateway relays this information back to the merchant's website.
3) The merchant's website receives this information and displays a message or signal for the customer.
Depending on whether the transaction was approved or declined, the appropriate message is displayed to the customer.
For instance:<br>
If transaction was successful, a confirmation message is shown, usually with a transaction ID and other details.<br>
If it was declined, the customer is informed and typically asked to try another payment method.
