How Online Payment Processing Works
 


There are three main components needed to process payments online.

  • Business Checking Account With ACH (Automated Clearing House) Capability
  • Merchant Bank Account That Will Accept Card Not Present Transactions
  • Payment Gateway Service

Your customer orders your product and elects to pay with a credit card.
The credit card information is passed from your site to your merchant bank via the payment gateway. The merchant bank contacts the issuer to authorize the transaction. After approval, the merchant bank deposits the funds, less discount rates, into your business checking account.

How Authorize.Net processes transactions:

  1. Authorize.Net detects an order has been placed, securely encrypts and forwards the Authorization Request to the Consumer’s Credit Card Issuer to verify the consumer’s credit card account and funds availability.
  2. The Authorization (or Decline) Response is returned via Authorize.Net to the Merchant. (Roundtrip, this process averages less than three seconds).
  3. Upon approval, the Merchant fulfills the consumer’s order.
  4. Authorize.Net sends the settlement request to the Merchant Account Provider.
  5. The Merchant Account Provider deposits transaction funds into the Merchant’s Checking Account.
