Credit Card Transaction Log

The Credit Card Transaction Log is accessed from the Reservation or Billing options Credit Cards > Credit Card History button > Log button (or via Configuration > Setup > Property Interfaces > Credit Card Interface > Credit Card Configuration Setup screen > Log button) and is used to track all of the credit card transactions that have been processed for one or multiple properties. Information that is displayed here depends on which credit card vendor interface (Southern DataComm, Global Card Services, Merchant Link, etc) the property is using. Each vendor interface contains their own specific information in the request, response, and error and how this information is arranged in the transaction details.

Note: All the information displayed in this help topic is based on a property using the Southern DataComm (SDC) credit card vendor. If using another credit card vendor, then the transaction information will appear different than displayed here.
