The
Authorization Process
POS hardware
terminals are keypad devices (like a telephone)
equipped with a built-in magnetic card reader
and modem. Retail – Storefront Merchants
needing a credit card authorization must
slide the magnetic strip of the card through
the card reader, input the amount, expiration
date, and zip code (cardholder address verification),
and prompt terminal to dial out (toll-free)
to obtain an authorization code. The terminal
will display either an approval code, “card
declined” or “call authorization
center message.” The authorization
process normally takes about 15-seconds.
POS virtual terminals
work similarly to hardware terminals, but
function as Client or Host. The client version
is a software program residing within a
merchant’s computer. The Host version
is an Internet address where a merchant
can go to complete a transaction. Virtual
terminals can be manual requiring the merchant
to input the transaction data from his or
her physical business location, or automated
whereby the cardholder inputs the data at
a merchant’s site (see https://www.payready.net).
The Clearing
and Settlement Process
Merchants running
transactions throughout the day must close
out the day’s credit card totals,
AKA Batching. This process initiates the
electronic movement of funds from a cardholders
account to a merchants account.
POS Terminal
Downloads
Each terminal type
is unique and must be programmed with specific
applications prior to a merchant being able
to run transactions. For example, network
processor protocols vary among each provider.
Card One International merchants are placed
on the Vital Processing Services Platform.
Also, there are a wide range of business
types. A standard retail store may not require
tip adjustments like a restaurant would.
Card One International insures all POS terminals
are properly downloaded and ready to run
transactions.
