Merchant credit card system- how it works?
Let’s look into the steps of merchant credit card processing system:
1. Authorization:
· On purchase of a good or service, the customer provides his credit card. The payment request can be placed through pos, credit card terminal or e-commerce payment gateway.
· A request for authorization is sent to the payment processor by the merchant.
· The payment processor then connects to the issuing bank.
· CVV or a pin is entered to validate a transaction.
· The issuing bank has the authority to accept/decline a payment. When the payment is accepted a receipt is printed by the in-built printer in the machine.
2. Settlement and Funding:
· Merchants send daily batches of transactions to the processors.
· The payment processors relay transaction details to the concerned banks.
· The concerned bank deducts the amount from the customer’s credit card.
· The customer’s bank sends the appropriate funds to the merchant’s bank account.
Time period: Authorization process takes a few seconds. The settlement and funding process may take a few days. Thus, credit card transactions are fast, efficient and offer easiest solution for modern business.
