Frequently asked questions
Where do donations come from?
Stripe, PayPal, a donation platform, or your checkout — any of them can fire a webhook with the donor, amount and date. The workflow turns that into an acknowledgement and receipt regardless of the source.
Is the receipt compliant?
The PDF template includes the fields most jurisdictions require — org name and tax ID, donor, amount, date, and a no-goods-or-services statement where applicable. Confirm your local requirements and adjust the template; the automation just fills and sends it.
