Cash, check, waived, or a card - recording is always free.

⏱ 1 minute Needs the Adoption Counselor role (or higher)

  1. Open the payment screen for the adoption. From the adoption record.
  2. For cash, check or a terminal. Enter the amount and how it was taken. This is recorded immediately - no card processing is involved.
  3. To waive the fee. Mark it waived instead of entering an amount - it is recorded as a decision, not left blank.
  4. For a card payment. Only available once your organization has turned on card payments (see the next guide) - choose Checkout and hand the adopter the card reader or link.
