    Poistive Retail Manager – Multi-Site

    September 18, 2007 · Leave a Comment

    Positive Software Company has  decided to change the name of Multi-store to Multi-site in Positive Retail manager to better reflect how the product is actually used. Many customers have warehouses, or mobile sales operations that aren’t really “store” sites, so Multi-site is a better descriptive name. We’ve already made the change to the dealer price list and should have our web site and marketing materials updated by the end of this month.

    Our programming department has also made a number of enhancements to Multi-site and changed the installation proceedure. Starting with the next official release, there will be a specific registration for the Master Site, which must be completed first before any other site can be activated. Setup of Remote Sites will also be handled by the Master Site.

    <!–[if !supportLists]–>·        <!–[endif]–>Business bank account to receive deposits for transaction payment

     

    If you want to process card transactions online, you will also need:

    <!–[if !supportLists]–>·        <!–[endif]–>Shopping cart software

     

    The right card processing solution for your business depends on the nature and volume of your transactions.

    How card processing works

    September 12, 2007 · Leave a Comment

    Credit Card Processing PDF Print E-mail

    When a customer pays for products or services with a credit card, the card information is recorded—either by manual entry, a card imprinter, point-of-sale (POS) terminal, or virtual terminal—and then verified so that the merchant can receive payment for the transaction.

    This process involves the following parties:

    Cardholder: the owner of the card used to make a purchase

    Merchant: the business accepting credit card payments for products or services sold to the cardholder

    Acquirer: the financial institution or other organization that provides card processing services to the merchant

    Card association: a network such as VISA® or MasterCard® (and others) that acts as a gateway between the acquirer and issuer for authorizing and funding transactions

    Issuer: the financial institution or other organization that issued the credit card to the cardholder

    The flow of information and money between these parties—always through the card associations—is known as the interchange, and it consists of a few steps:

    1.      Authorization

    The cardholder pays for the purchase and the merchant submits the transaction to the acquirer. The acquirer verifies with the issuer—almost instantly—that the card number and transaction amount are both valid, and then processes the transaction for the cardholder.

    2.      Batching

    After the transaction is authorized it is then stored in a batch, which the merchant sends to the acquirer later to receive payment (usually at the end of the day).

    3.      Clearing and settlement

    The acquirer sends the transactions in the batch through the card association, which debits the issuers for payment and credits the acquirer. In effect, the issuers pay the acquirer for the transactions.

    4.      Funding

    Once the acquirer has been paid, the merchant receives payment. The amount the merchant receives is equal to the transaction amount minus the discount rate, which is the fee the merchant pays the acquirer for processing the transaction.

    The entire process, from authorization to funding, usually takes about 3 days. In the event of a chargeback (when there’s an error in processing the transaction or the cardholder disputes the transaction), the issuer returns the transaction to the acquirer for resolution. The acquirer then forwards the chargeback to the merchant, who must either accept the chargeback or contest it.
