Payment Processing

Payment Processing

Accept donations online with secure, reliable payment processing. Alignmint lets you accept credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers from day one without asking your team to configure a separate payment gateway.

Secure Online Payments

Turning on online payments takes just a few minutes in Administration → Payment Integrations. Once connected, Alignmint can handle:

• Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover

• ACH Bank Transfers: Lower fees for bank-to-bank transfers (great for larger gifts)

• Recurring Payments: Automatic billing for monthly, quarterly, or annual gifts

• Automatic Donation Recording: Every online payment creates a donation record, updates the donor's profile, and generates the journal entry

• Refund Processing: Issue full or partial refunds directly from Alignmint with automatic accounting reversal

Fees

Standard online payment processing fees apply:

• Credit/Debit Cards: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

• ACH Bank Transfers: 0.8% per transaction (capped at $5)

Alignmint does not charge any additional processing fees on top of standard processing rates. Those rates are all you pay.

Security

All payments are handled through a secure payment partner that meets the highest payment security standards. Your donors' card numbers never touch Alignmint's servers, and sensitive payment details are handled by the payment processor.

Where Payments Come From

• Donation Pages: Public giving pages you create with the Donation Page Builder

• Donor Portal: Donors managing their own recurring gifts

• Event Tickets: Online ticket purchases from Events & Ticketing

Payouts

Online payment deposits are sent to your bank account on a rolling basis. You can view payout history and pending amounts in your payment dashboard.
