# Transfer Attempts

When a user attempts to make a payment using a [Checkout Form](/api/checkout-forms) or [Payment Link](/api/payment-links), or a recipient submitting details with a [Payout Link](/api/payout-links)—a Transfer Attempt is created. 

Using transfer attempts, you can track the lifecycle of a payment or a series of payments if you are using a multi-use Payment Link. 

Checkout Forms and Payment Links support authorizations. If a payment made with them is an authorization, the Transfer Attempt result shows `is_authorization: true` and references the authorization (`authorization_id`).

Each Transfer Attempt has as reference to a `transfer_id` to allow you to query it for additional data.
