If something goes wrong

I typed the wrong amount and pressed Issue.
The receipt stands. Tell your Nazim: the correction is a second, opposite record, and both stay in the books so the trail is honest.
The donor is not in the list.
Add them from the People tab, on the Donors segment, then come back. A donor is created once and used for every receipt afterwards.
Does the donor get anything automatically?
If they have an email address on file, they are sent the receipt with a link to confirm it or tell us something is wrong.
