No, processing and pending are not the same; pending usually means an action is waiting for the next step or approval (like a payment waiting to be sent), while processing means active work is happening to complete it (like an order being packed or a payment being moved through the network). Pending is a waiting stage, whereas processing is the active execution stage, with processing often happening after something becomes pending or as a payment moves from pending to final.
The main difference is that pending fulfillment means no warehouse action has started, while processing means the order is actively being picked, packed, and prepared for shipment. Understanding the distinction helps ecommerce brands identify where delays occur and how to streamline order fulfillment.
Re: Differences between pending, processing and delievered question? I think that Pending implies that the Seller has yet to recognize the order or take any action. Processing implies that the Seller has recognized the order, and has begun to take action, but has not yet shipped the product.
When a payment is marked as “pending” it means that the payment process still needs to be completed. In most cases, this simply means that you need to wait for this to happen. In some cases, however, the merchant may need to take action.
The deposit might be pending, meaning it's still being processed by the bank. This often happens with checks or electronic transfers. The money should become available once the deposit clears, which usually takes a few business days. You can check with your bank for more details.

A pending transaction is an authorized but not yet finalized payment. The amount is held and subtracted from your available credit or balance. It remains pending until the merchant completes processing. For instance, when you use a debit card, the bank logs the transaction as pending while confirming the funds.

A pending transaction on a bank account means a transaction is in progress but hasn't been fully processed yet. Pending transactions can include purchases, bill payments, or deposits that are awaiting completion by the bank.
Transactions will be processed against the available balance in the account at the time of processing. Importantly, the actual balance and available balance may differ as the available balance may be reflective of any pending ATM or debit card transactions that have not posted to the account or due to check holds.
Processed does not necessarily mean paid. If the bank says a transaction has been processed, that can mean that it has been authorized and authenticated but not yet settled - meaning, the seller may not see the funds in their account yet.
"Processed pending payment" means the transaction received initial approval and is awaiting final settlement, effectively an approved hold, but it's not fully completed; funds are reserved, but the merchant still needs to "capture" them (usually 1-3 days) before it posts, though it could be canceled if the merchant doesn't finalize or if issues arise.
Payment processing is the sequence of actions that securely transfer funds between a payer and a payee. Typically, it involves the authorization, verification, and settlement of transactions through electronic payment systems.
