Book Duration Setup Book Transactions reserve a specified amount of a customer s credit card. Because the dollar amount is already reserved against the customer credit card, an approval is virtually guaranteed when a follow-up Ship transaction is sent to the processor. The number of days a Book is kept open is determined by each cardholder s issuing bank. The most common is 7 to 10 days, but Books may be held for as long as four weeks. The number you enter here is the number of days CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE will consider the Book open. This may not exactly coincide with the number of days an individual Book stays open. If you enter a number smaller than the number of days specified by the bank, the book renew procedure will still work correctly by processing a void first and then a re-book. Each credit card may be associated with an effective Book transaction duration. The Book Duration allows you to input the number of days for book transactions and an Expired Book batch name for each credit card. Leaving the number of days as 0 will turn off the expiration for book transactions by selected cards. After Book transactions expire, they will be placed into batches under the Expired Book Batch Name. You can leave the Expired Book Batch Name as default or enter a different name.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 32 NOTE: You need to contact credit card companies to obtain the number of days for Book transactions. To setup a Book Duration for a credit card: 1.

Enter the Expired Book Batch Name or leave it as default.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 33 Processing Credit Card Transactions CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE integrates with each Dynamics/eEnterprise Sales module: Orders Invoices Returns Customer Payments Entry Receivables Transaction Entry The Credit Card Entry window is accessed from the main transaction entry window in each module using either a menu bar entry or a hot-key combination. Transaction Types This section explains each of the transaction types in CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE. The steps for processing each of the transaction types are nearly identical. Slight variations are identified and explained in this section Please note: the various names of the transaction types vary by processor. A Sale may be called Capture by some processors. A Book may be a Pre-Authorize. There are other variations. The names chosen for CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE are among the more common but are not universal. Though the names may vary, the processing details do not. Sale An approved Sale is an immediate charge to the customer s credit card or account. If a Sale is saved to a batch, the charge will not occur until the batch is sent for approval. A Sale can only be reversed with a Void or a Credit. Book A Book is a reserve of a specified amount on the customer s credit card or account. A Book prevents the customer from using that portion of their credit / funds, but does not actually charge the card nor transfer any funds. A Book is useful for companies that ship merchandise one or more days after receiving an order. By issuing a Book, a company reserves the necessary amount on the customer s card at the time of the order. This reserve assures an approved Ship transaction at the time the merchandise is eventually shipped. A Ship transaction is necessary to complete the Book. A Book can only be entered from the Sales Transaction Entry window.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 34 The number of days a Book will stay open is determined by each cardholder s issuing bank. The most common number is 7 to 10 days, but some banks may hold Books for as long as four weeks and little as 3 days. Ship A Ship can only be issued for a transaction that has been previously a Book. Under ordinary circumstances, a Ship is assured approval as long as the amount is equal to or less than the original Book amount and the Ship is sent before the Book has expired. A Ship results in an immediate charge to the customer s credit card or account. If the Ship is for less than the original Book amount, the remainder of the original Book amount is released back to the customer s credit line or account. Credit A Credit is issued to transfer money from the company s account to the customer s account or credit card. When a Return is processed a Credit can be issued to return money to the customer.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 35 Force A Force is used to enter already approved transactions. A Force is typically used for a transaction processed through a phone authorization. When entering a Force you will be required to enter the authorization code. Dyn/eEnt Only option is not selected for the Force mode. Force Dynamics Only The Dynamics Only option is used with a Force when the transaction being forced has already settled or it is already in the records of your Payment Gateway. This can happen due to a network failure or other system problem that prevents CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE from properly receiving the response from the Payment Gateway. The Dynamics Only option enters the information into the Dynamics / eenterprise records, but nothing is sent out to the processor. Dyn/eEnt Only option is selected for the Force-Dynamics only mode. Void A Void is issued for an unsettled approved transaction. When a Void is successfully issued, neither the Void nor the original transaction will appear on the customer s statement. A Void can only be issued against an unsettled

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 36 transaction. When a Void is sent, if the original transaction has already been settled, the Void will be denied and a warning will be displayed. A settled Sale transaction must be reversed with a Credit. NOTE: VeriSign Payment Gateway does not allow reversing Credit transactions. For example, if you enter a Return and verify it, you will have a Credit transaction. You cannot void or delete this Credit transaction if you use VeriSign. However, the Return document can be voided or deleted. If you use Paymentech processor, you will be able to reverse Credit transactions. Paymentech processor does not allow Ship transactions with ship amounts greater than the Book amount.

Real time processing is useful for companies that verify each credit card transaction at the time an order or invoice is entered. Real time is also useful for transactions being paid with multiple cards. If multiple cards are being used for a single invoice, real time processing must be used.

Enter the credit card information using the Credit Card Entry window. See Entering Credit Card Transactions. 2. On the Credit Card Entry window, choose the Process button. 3.

You may correct the transaction information and try processing again with different credit card information or you may save the transaction without payment.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 42 Processing Credit Card Transactions - Batch Mode Alternatively to Real Time processing, unprocessed credit card transactions may be saved in a batch. When credit card transactions are saved in a batch, all transactions in the batch are sent for verification at once. No verification is done at the time the transactions are entered. When using batch mode, all credit card transactions in the batch must be approved before the batch can be posted. Once the batch is sent for approval, denied transactions are removed from the batch and placed into their own separate batch. (See CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE Setup for information about the name of the denied transaction batch.) Moving the denied transactions allows the rest of the batch to post. NOTE:

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE 7.0 USER GUIDE 43 You cannot post Small Business Manager Sales documents that are associated with credit card transactions until the credit card transaction have been approved or removed.

The correct action to take upon a denial will vary depending on the reason for the denial and company policies. If processing in Real Time, no payment is created. Corrections to denied real-time transactions can be made on the spot before saving or posting the document. In Batch mode, there is one extra step. In either event, a denial gives you two basic choices: Resubmit the credit card transaction (with or without changes) Delete the credit card transaction (not necessary in Real Time) WARNING: A Sales document may not be posted with an unprocessed or denied credit card transaction attached. Real Time Denials If processing in Real Time, a denial will result in no credit card transaction being written to the document. The user has five choices:
