Run the Credit Card End of Day Settlement Report to settle credit card transactions on a daily basis. A group of transactions is also known as a batch. When you run this report, you send transaction information through your company's processor to the credit card companies. There, the information is settled and forwarded to the bank, who then forwards the appropriate amount of money to your company. Settling the batch transfers funds from the card holder's account to the merchant's account.
On successful completion of the settlement, you receive confirmation and a copy of the Credit Card Summary Report, which details the batch for each merchant and for every selected processor and merchant ID number. In addition, information from the End of Day Settlement is entered into the Change Log related to that payment generation. For more information about how to view this information, see Viewing Changes to Orders.
