Take a payment and settle an uncertain one
What It Does
Payment records a keyed attempt, asks Accounting for the money movement and resolves the resulting sale state. Recovery preserves unresolved attempts rather than making a competing charge.
The Flow
When Something Fails
Decline permits another attempt within the deadline. Lost answers retain uncertainty and are revisited using the original attempt, with escalation after fifteen minutes. Acceptance remains committed when gate or mirror follow-ups fail. Financial reversal uses separate void or change settlement.
Open Design Questions
The organization's payer behavior still relies on Accounting's stated contract rather than integrated payment proof.
