Payment systems remains authoritative

Keep the source role explicit.

The payment system remains authoritative for the transactions, provider identifiers and statuses it records.

  • Provider transaction state
  • Captured and refunded amounts
  • Provider receipts and identifiers

Orbital adds context

Connect the commercial evidence.

Orbital connects supported money events to the commercial entities and policies needed to explain performance.

  • Order, product and offer context
  • Seller and landing evidence where recorded
  • Outstanding and net definitions under explicit contracts

Use both when a founder needs to trace a reported collection back to its provider evidence and commercial source.

  • Orbital does not replace provider settlement records
  • Net collected is not profit or bank balance
  • A refund does not prove its business cause
