Overview
This node integrates with the Pinch Payments API to retrieve payment information. Specifically, the "Get Payment" operation fetches details of a single payment by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to verify payment status, audit transactions, or display payment details within an automation workflow.
For example, after receiving a payment ID from a previous step (such as a webhook or database query), you can use this node to pull detailed payment data like amount, status, and payer information for further processing or reporting.
