🔑 Works for Coaches & Treasurers too

Four things to know

🧾
Have your receipt ready

A clear photo or PDF works best — mintbotics reads it automatically once you upload it.

👥
Know your team

You'll pick it from a list when you create your draft — no need to remember an ID or number.

🤖
AI does the heavy lifting

Line items are extracted from your receipt automatically — you can fix anything it gets wrong.

⏱️
A couple of minutes

Most requests take less time to submit than it takes to find the receipt.

Start a new request from your dashboard

Click New Request — either the nav link at the top, or the New Request card on your dashboard.

New Request

Create a new reimbursement request for your team.

My Requests

View and track all your reimbursement submissions.

My Team

See your team roster, coach assignments, and school/program details.

Same place every time

New Request sits in your top nav on every page, and as a shortcut card right on your dashboard — whichever's closer.

  • Works the same for Parents, Mentors, Coaches, and Treasurers
  • My Requests is where you'll come back to check status later
  • My Team shows your roster and coach assignments if you need them

Fill in the details & create your draft

Give it a title, a short description, and pick your team — then click Create Draft.

Nothing here is final yet

Creating a draft doesn't submit anything — it just opens the request so you can attach receipts next.

  • Title — a short label so you and your Coach can find it later
  • Description — what the expense was for, in a sentence or two
  • Team — pick from the teams you're a member of

Click Create Draft when you're ready.

💡Not ready yet? A draft saves automatically — come back to it any time from My Requests.

AI itemizes your receipt — review or edit

Generate Reimbursement Request reads your receipt and breaks it into line items automatically.

You always get the final say

AI extraction is a head start, not a final answer — check that the amounts and descriptions match your receipt before you submit.

  • Tap the pencil on any line to fix a description or amount
  • Delete a line the AI picked up by mistake
  • + Add line item covers anything it missed entirely
📸Make the photo readable. Flat, well-lit, and uncropped receipts get itemized far more accurately — blurry photos mean more manual cleanup.

Submit and track it through payment

Submitting sends it to your Coach — it now shows up in My Requests, moving through four stages until paid.

Submission

Sent for review by the requester. · Aug 13, 2026, 5:35 PM

Team reviewAwaiting team review

Under review by the Coach or Team Treasurer to verify the request details.

Director reviewPending director

PaymentPending payment

Will be processed and issued by the School Treasurer after director approval.

Four stages, start to finish

Every request follows the same path — you can check progress from My Requests any time without asking your Coach for an update.

  • Submission — you've sent it in, nothing more to do
  • Team review — your Coach or Treasurer checks the details
  • Director review — the Program Director confirms it fits program guidelines
  • Payment — the School Treasurer issues payment, using the Zelle or mailing details from your Profile

Common questions

Edit any extracted line item, or delete it and add your own — nothing is locked in until you submit the request.

PDF or image files (JPG, PNG, HEIC) work. A clear, well-lit, uncropped photo gets itemized the most accurately.

Yes — add as many receipts as you need before generating the request. Each one is read and folded into the same itemized total.

Your Coach or Team Treasurer reviews first, then your Program Director, then the School Treasurer issues payment — the same four stages every time.

Once submitted it moves into review — reach out to your Coach if something needs to change. Drafts you haven't submitted yet can still be edited or deleted freely.
