Credit Card Inquiry & Approval
Processing credit card orders in Distribution Plus involves the following steps:
· Authorizing - obtaining authorization numbers from ICVerify
· Settlement - charging the customer’s credit card for sale amount
· Voiding a Charge - applying a credit to a cardholder's account if necessary.
The authorization, settlement and void processes can either be scheduled to run through a daily AIS batch process or manually initiated. The authorization, settlement and void processing options are limited to the Default Credit Card Process setting on the Installation Maintenance window. Refer to Chapter 3: Basic Setup in this guide for more information on setting a Default Credit Card Process. Refer to “Daily Job Processing” in Chapter 5: Batch Processes of the Distribution Plus Installation and Implementation Guide for more information on scheduling batch processes. Credit card approval status can be reviewed on an inquiry window that provides the ability to filter the query and print a report on the results.
