[See our bank slip creation manual](/en/docs/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-bank-slip/).\n\nSee below details regarding approval of each one of these types:\n\n## Directly through VTEX\n\nIn this type of setup, the store, or some other system, must inform VTEX that the payment was made.\n\nThe order status will remain **Payment pending** until the payment is notified. This notification can be made through [bank reconciliation](/en/docs/tutorials/bank-reconciliations/), [API](https://developers.vtex.com/docs/api-reference/orders-api#post-/api/oms/pvt/orders/-orderId-/payments/-paymentId-/payment-notification) or [manually in Orders management](/en/docs/tutorials/approving-payment-of-the-bank-payment-slip/).\n\nIt must be mentioned that the order will follow its normal course only upon approval of the payment.\n\n## Through an external Gateway\n\nIn this case, the Gateway registered must communicate the payment to VTEX, just as it happens with credit cards, for example.\n\nPayments can also be approved [manually in Orders management](/en/docs/tutorials/approving-payment-of-the-bank-payment-slip)."}
