Architecture Overview
Civic Receipting is built on a modern, microservices-oriented architecture designed for high-throughput payment processing with real-time GL posting. The platform separates payment ingestion, business rule processing, financial posting, and reporting into independently scalable layers — with P2PE terminal isolation ensuring payment card data never enters the municipal application network.
