Authorize Multiple Cards

Pre-authorize multiple credit cards to validate the cards against the amount, and then pay off the transaction to avoid the need to tap, swipe, or insert the card again.

  1. Log in to workstation 01.
  2. Start a transaction.
  3. Ring in the items.
  4. Select CC Auth, and then tap, swipe, or insert the credit card. For example, a Visa card.
    The PED lights up prompting for the card. The authorization is successful, the credit card vouchers for the authorization are printed, and the authorization details are displayed in the Check Detail Area. The credit card limit is reduced by the authorized amount.
  5. Ring in more items.
  6. Select CC Auth, and then tap, swipe, or insert a different credit card. For example, an Amex card.
    The PED lights up prompting for the card. The authorization is successful, the credit card vouchers for the authorization are printed, and the authorization details are displayed in the Check Detail Area. The credit card limit is reduced by the authorized amount.
  7. Select CC Finalize.
  8. Select a card from the list (for example, the Amex card) and pay off the transaction. You can also add tips.

    The finalize operation is successful without the need to tap, swipe, or insert the card again. The credit card vouchers for the sale are successfully printed. The authorization and payment details are displayed in the Check Detail Area.

    The credit card used for CC Finalize (for example, the Amex card) is reduced by the transaction amount and is visible in the customer’s card statement.

    The credit card used for CC Auth, but not for CC Finalize, limit is reverted to the original amount before the CC Auth (for example the Visa) and then these details are not visible in the customer’s card statement.
