Transaction Types
Processing a Sale: The default transaction type in Web Terminal is sale. All approved sales are automatically batched by CHARGE Anywhere at the end of the business day and sent to your processor for funding.
Processing a Void: A transaction can only be voided if the batch has not been closed yet (generally the same day of the transaction). Voiding a transaction will remove the transaction from the batch. Depending on the processor and the bank, a hold may remain on the customer's card for a few business days before the hold is released.
- To void a transaction: Locate the transaction using the Search Transactions option along the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Transaction ID to bring up the Transaction Details screen and click Void.
Processing a Return: A return will initiate a credit to a customer's credit card. You can perform a "Return by Transaction" if you have processed a sale on that credit card prior. If not, you can perform a "Manual Return" by setting the transaction type to Return, entering the appropriate transaction information, and pressing Process Transaction.
- To perform a Return by Transaction: Locate the transaction using the Search Transactions option along the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Transaction ID to bring up the Transaction Details screen and click Return. Verify the return amount and click Process Return.
Processing an Auth Only: An auth only transaction is a presale authorization to verify funds are available. The auth only will issue a hold on the customer's card until it is forced (captured). Only when it is forced, will you be funded for the transaction.
Processing a Force(Capture): You can only force a previous Auth Only or Voice Authorized transaction. A force will claim the pending authorization so that it may be batched for funding.
- A force can also be processed by locating the Auth Only you wish to capture using the Search Transactions option along the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Transaction ID to bring up the Transaction Details screen and click Capture.
