fake payment receipts

How to avoid fake payment receipts

A screenshot is not a payment. What to check before dispatching, how to organize payment verification and when to charge with a payment link.

Short answer: the only safe way to avoid fake receipts is not to dispatch based on a screenshot and to confirm the money reached your account or payment gateway. Check that amount, date, time and destination account match the order, separate who sells from who approves the payment and, when possible, charge with a payment link so the gateway confirms the payment for you.

Everything you need to sell, invoice and grow

Confirm in the account

A payment exists when it shows in your bank or gateway.

Check the details

Amount, date, time and destination account.

Split duties

Whoever sells doesn't approve the payment.

Payment link

The gateway confirms the payment automatically.

Approval before dispatch

Orders move forward once payment is approved.

History

Every approved or rejected payment is recorded.

What to check on every payment

  • The money is in your account: check the bank, wallet or gateway, not the screenshot.
  • The exact amount: it matches the order total or the agreed deposit.
  • Date and time: they match the purchase.
  • Destination account: it is yours.
  • Not repeated: one receipt cannot pay two orders.

Organize verification

  1. The salesperson records the order and attaches the receipt.
  2. Someone else (treasury or admin) checks the account and approves or rejects the payment.
  3. The warehouse only ships orders with approved payment.

In Katuq this flow lives in treasury and payment verification: payments to review, approved and rejected, with history and alerts for unpaid orders.

Charge with a payment link when you can

With a payment link the customer pays by card, PSE or Nequi at the gateway and confirmation arrives automatically. Katuq creates payment links with Wompi, ePayco or Bold from the order.
