Processing a Credit Card transaction

There are 2 parts to processing a Credit Card transaction:
  1. When a customer’s credit card is swiped or entered manually, the transaction details are sent through the transaction authorization path, during which the issuing bank approves the transaction, and a hold is put on customer funds. This occurs in real-time. Resulting credit card authorization codes are stored in a single file by the credit card terminals or credit card processing platform. This file is known as a Batch.

  2. Later, the second stage: fund transfer occurs. This is when customer credit cards are actually charged. When batch processing is used, the batch of authorization codes is uploaded and processed simultaneously, once a day. This is also known as Closing the batch. Usually, this process is carried out at the end of the workday or business day.

    1. During batch processing:
      1. The merchant sends the batch of authorization codes to the credit card processor.
      2. The credit card processor then forwards these codes to the relevant issuing banks.
      3. As a hold has already been put on customer funds, all that remains is for the issuing bank to release the funds and send them to the processor.
      4. The processor then forwards the funds to be deposited into the merchant account. This process usually occurs within 48 hours of the transaction.

  3. After the funds are transferred from the user’s bank to the merchant account: the transaction is complete and it will appear on the customer’s next CC statement.

Also, the Batch/Tip Adjustment screen is used to make any Tip Adjustment for any transactions except the payment made by Ingenico.

To navigate to this screen: in POS., select Operations > Batch/Tip Adjustment.


  1. When the tip amount is greater than the check amount in the batch screen and Apply Total is enabled, the balance amount will be updated to the Tip.

  2. The transactions for which the tip adjustment has been made will be highlighted in green.

  3. When Process Offline is selected, the transactions which were made while offline will be processed. After processing, the red highlight will be removed.

  4. Select Submit Batch. The transactions in the grid table will be processed and submitted to the enterprise’s account.
