Credit Card 
Processing
Retail


A transaction begins when your customer (a cardholder) chooses to make the payment for goods or services with his/her credit card or debit card.  The customer (the cardholder) or you or your staff swipes the cardholders credit or debit card through the "credit card" machine's (a terminal) magnetic stripe reader.

This action initiates the first of two transactions.  This first transaction in the card processing industry is called, "authorization request".  The credit or debit card number and other information read by the terminal is sent to the processing network and in turn, it goes to the bank that issued the credit or debit card (an issuing bank) for the authorization.  Thus an "Authorization Request" transaction is generated. The issuing bank then verifies the credit or debit card number and checks to see if the requested amount is available on the cardholder's account.  The issuing bank either sends back a 6-alphanumeric approval number (an authorization code) or a decline message to the processing system.  If approved, the approval response is passed back to the terminal which prints a receipt for the cardholder to sign, and then you (the merchant) check the validity of the signature both on the back of the card and the receipt, and keep the signed receipt as a proof of the issuing bank authorization.  This completes the first transaction, but the process is not complete to where the merchant will be paid until completing the second  transaction.  The merchant must at the end of the business day or at anytime the merchant chooses, even more than once a day if they desire...send the day's processed total to the processor.  This second and final step is called, "settle" or "batch out" in the credit card processing industry.  Once this total transaction information reaches the processing network, individual transactions are fed back to each cardholder's card issuing banks. Once the issuing banks successfully debits the funds from each cardholder's account, then the corresponding funds are sent to the merchant's bank account.  This second step can be done automatically at a convenient time each day for you at no extra cost called "auto close" or "auto batching".
