Accepting Credit Card Payments for Orders with Vantiv

The Worldpay Payment Processing solution is designed to offer you flexibility in how your company implements its procedures for accepting credit card payments for orders. Check with your supervisor if you are unsure about whether you should save a customer's credit card information for later payment, or accept payment at the time of the order. The procedures below describe how to accept a full or partial credit card payment for an order.

Note: Worldpay contains logic that checks for duplicate charges. If two charges for the same amount are made to the same card during the batch period, the second charge is declined. The batch period is set between you and Worldpay. For more information about working around duplicate charges, see Troubleshooting Credit Cards and Vantiv.

Note: The system validates the account ID on the credit card with the account ID on the payment branch. If these do not match, the system will not complete the transaction.
