Credit Card Optional Module

Purpose
The ACUMEN Credit Card module is designed to improve order entry, customer service, and banking operations by tightly integrating all aspects of credit card processing with daily activities. Communication with your bank's credit card network takes place through ACUMEN via the internet; no longer through a separate credit card terminal. This is a comprehensive solution that enables you to authorize credit card transactions, settle them with your bank network, and reconcile the bank deposits, all from within ACUMEN.

Key Features and Benefits

• Streamlines Order Entry. Process orders and credit cards at the same time from within ACUMEN eliminating double entry at the credit card terminal.
• Reduces Errors. Enter credit card numbers once. ACUMEN then pulls the number from the Invoice record and automatically transmits it to your bank.
• Increases Productivity. Automated deposit feature not only saves time creating and tracking credit card deposits, it also facilitates month-end bank reconciliations. Authorizations, settlement, and deposits are handled automatically.
• Authorization Flexibility. You can choose from three different authorization methods: Immediate, Manual Batch or Scheduled Batch.
• Fast Immediate Authorizations. Authorizations take between 5 and 10 seconds, even with a dial-up internet connection.
• Avoid Credit Card Loss. With the authorization process tied directly to your order entry you have better control over the shipping of credit card orders. ACUMEN does not allow unauthorized credit card orders to be processed.
• Provides Powerful Reporting & Auditing. Summary and detail reports for all of your credit card transactions.
• Web Integration. Works seamlessly with the ACUMEN eCommerce Interchange module.
