Payment flow

How payments move through AlignMint

From Giving Setup through checkout, accounting, refunds, and reconciliation.

GIVING SETUP

Set up payments once for the organization

Verify the organization, choose settlement details, confirm the approved payment profile, and map payments to accounting. Checkout turns on after those checks pass.

METHODS AND FEES

Show only the available payment methods

Card processing is 2.7% + $0.30. Checkout shows the methods approved for the current payment session.

PAYMENT LIFECYCLE

From checkout to receipt and accounting

Card entry happens on a processor-hosted checkout. After confirmation, AlignMint records the payment and completes the related receipt, accounting, and reporting work.

Confirm the outcomeSigned provider evidence confirms the organization, amount, attempt, and processor.
Retry without another chargePending work keeps the original payment evidence while AlignMint finishes the local records.
REFUNDS AND RECURRING

Handle refunds and recurring gifts

Authorized staff can issue an eligible full donation refund. Where available, donors can cancel scheduled gifts in the processor’s billing portal. Other changes may require support.

SETTLEMENT AND RECONCILIATION

Reconcile with provider records

Completed payments reach the accounting record with the provider’s settlement details. Missing fees, payouts, or settlement values stay marked pending instead of being guessed.

SECURITY BOUNDARY

Card details stay with the processor

AlignMint does not store full card numbers. Signed provider evidence confirms the organization, amount, attempt, and processor before local records are created.
