## Payment Step
In this step, the customer generally chooses a payment method to complete their purchase. The implementation of payment providers is done differently for each provider, so this section will just show the general steps you should follow when implementing this step.

### Initialize Payment Sessions
### Display Payment Methods
When the page opens and before the payment providers are displayed to the customer to choose from, you must initialize the [payment sessions](../payment.md#payment-session) for the current cart. Each payment provider will have a payment session associated with it. These payment sessions will be used later when the customer chooses the payment provider they want to complete their purchase with.

:::tip
If you have one payment provider or if only one payment provider is available for the current cart, its payment session will be automatically selected in the “[Initialize Payment Session](#initialize-payment-sessions)” step and this step becomes unnecessary. You can check whether there is a payment session selected or not by checking whether `cart.payment_session` is `null` or not.

### Update Payment Session
This step is optional and is only necessary for some payment providers. As mentioned in the [Payment Architecture](../payment.md#overview) documentation, the `PaymentSession` model has a `data` attribute that holds any data required for the Payment Provider to perform payment operations such as capturing payment.

### Complete Cart
The last step is to place the order by completing the cart. When you complete the cart, your Medusa backend will try to authorize the payment first, then place the order if the authorization is successful. So, you should perform any necessary action with your payment provider first to make sure the authorization is successful when you send the request to complete the cart.
