Payment stores owner and target amount for one local collection. Attempt stores the conditions and progress of one accepted operation. Transaction stores the result of one channel money action. A failed try followed by a succeeded retry can leave two execution records and only one amount received.</p> <p>Keeping only the latest state on one row lets a retry overwrite the last failure, lets a refunded net hide the original capture, and leaves a back-office “success” that cannot say whether money was captured. Separate records answer how many times the customer tried, how much the channel actually captured, and how much was later returned.</p>
