Use your iPhone to process credit card transactions

Authorize and Capture Charges

The main function of ProcessAway is to submit transactions of type "AUTH_CAPTURE", which is authorize, verify and capture funds. With this, a merchant can instantly know if funds are available on a customers charge card and request those funds be marked for transfer to the merchant.

Once funds are requested to be captured, the funds put on hold are marked to be transferred out at the next settlement cycle at the Authorize.net gateway. This can be within a few minutes, or can take a number of hours. While funds are waiting to be settled, the merchant can void the transaction to stop the funds from being transferred out of the card holder account. After the funds are settled, the funds are removed from the card holders account. At this point, the transaction can no longer be Voided. To return funds to the card holders account, a credit must be initiated.

How To Authorize and Capture Funds

  1. Enter a valid credit card number
  2. Enter the expiration date in the form of MMYY two digits for month, followed by two digits for year. For example, April, 2009 would be 0409.
  3. Enter an amount to authorize and capture.
  4. Although not required for a successful transaction (unless the default settings for this account was modified at the Authorize.net merchant account area), it is good practice to enter the Zip and CVC
  5. Go to the Additional Sale Info pages and enter any additional sale info that may be needed and also enter a valid email account if an email receipt is requested
  6. Execute the transaction by pressing "Submit for Payment"
