Clear payment boundaries

Trust comes from knowing where Lumina stops.

The product is designed around provider truth, server-side scope, and an explicit separation between reconciliation software and custody of funds.

LUMINA VERIFICATION LAYERProvider-confirmed financial truthSigned webhook + server verification

No wallet balances

Invoice payments use the organisation's configured Paystack payout setup.

No merchant secret keys

Businesses never paste their own Paystack secret keys into Lumina.

Server-derived amounts

The backend determines payment amounts and the organisation payout route.

Provider-confirmed status

Signed webhooks lead; server-side verification supplies the fallback.

Masked payout details

Operational views do not expose full bank account numbers.

Tenant isolation and RBAC

Organisation scope and role permissions are enforced server-side.

Before you join

Clear answers for careful operators.

Lumina is deliberately specific about what it does, where payment truth comes from, and which financial responsibilities remain with Paystack and your business.

Does Lumina hold my business funds?

No. Lumina does not provide wallet balances or withdrawals. Invoice payments use the organisation's configured Paystack payout setup.

Do I need to provide my Paystack secret key?

No. Lumina uses its own server-side Paystack integration and organisation-level subaccounts. Businesses do not paste merchant Paystack secret keys into the product.

How does Lumina know an invoice was paid?

Payment status is confirmed from Paystack. Signed webhooks are the primary confirmation path, with server-side transaction verification as a fallback.

What happens if a customer pays twice?

Confirmed payments determine the financial result. If successful payments exceed the invoice total, Lumina flags the excess for review. Owners and admins can initiate an excess refund, and the state changes after provider confirmation.

Can a customer view and pay an invoice without an account?

Yes. Public invoice links can be opened without signing in. Online payment is available when the business has active Payment Setup.

Is Lumina accounting software?

No. Lumina focuses on customer invoices, online payment collection, reconciliation, refunds, receipts, and operational reporting. It is not full bookkeeping, payroll, inventory, or tax-filing software.

Which countries and currencies are supported?

The initial product is designed around Nigerian businesses, Nigerian bank accounts, NGN invoices, and Paystack.
