AuctionStar® Credit Card Processing Option
As guests check-in/register at the event, AuctionStar® can pre-scan guest credit cards which later helps to expedite checkout. This “pre-scanning” function records guests’ credit card information in the AuctionStar® system (to associate it with the corresponding bidder and purchases). At the time of pre-scanning, guests’ credit cards are not “charged”, as no purchases are known.
In deciding which method to use, a client might consider 1) the time and accuracy of the manual method and 2) any differences in rates from its merchant bank (i.e., the “manually entered” rate minus the “swiped rate” times the $ volume of transactions expected).
Automated Option
We are pleased to offer competitive processing rates. Call us if your organization is paying over 2% in processing charges.
Standard Option
Below are standard options client can use to process guest credit cards to the client's merchant bank account once purchase amounts are known:
-
Use printed reports from AuctionStar® to manually process the credit card transactions. This is often an existing method and involves manullay keying credit card and amount data via machine or phone "dial in".
-
Use electronic files from AuctionStar® to support an exisiting electronic method already established by the client. The client will likely manipulate the data file somewhat prior to feeding it to the credit card processor.
-
AuctionStar® presently offers several credit card batch file options: IC Verify, Authorize.net, X Charge and generic batch file. AuctionStar® is also compatible with Quickbooks.
