| Terminal |
| |
| The Virtual Terminal section is designed to allow users to process transactions. The transactions which are available for the store are displayed on the top toolbar. By selecting the desired transaction, the user will be taken to the appropriate screen where they will be able to fill in all required information. All transactions completed in the Virtual Terminal are done in real time. Once a transaction is completed, a response is generated and displayed. A user must have the necessary privileges in order to access the Virtual Terminal section. |

| PreAuth |
| The Preauthorization transaction is designed to reserve an amount on a card. This transaction DOES NOT appear on card holder statements. Preauthorization transactions are typically followed by Capture transactions. If a Preauthorization transaction is not completed using a Capture, it will automatically be discarded. A Preauthorization transaction can only be reversed by contacting the issuer of the card. |
| |
| Capture |
| The Capture transaction is designed to refer back to a previously completed Preauthorization transaction. The Capture transaction is what will appear on the cardholder's statement. The amount being captured may be less than, equal to or greater than the amount which was already Preauthorized. |
| |
| Purchase |
| The Purchase transaction is designed to immediately charge an amount on a card. |
| |
| Void |
| The Void transaction is designed to refer back to a previously completed Purchase or Capture transaction. The void transaction will reverse a transaction which was completed only if the transaction to be reversed is in the currently open batch. Once a batch is closed, the transactions may no longer be voided but rather 'refunded'. This is a different transaction type. When voiding a transaction, the full amount of the transaction being voided will be reversed. There is no control on the amount being voided. |
| |
| Refund |
| The refund transaction is designed to refer back to a previously completed Purchase or Capture transaction. The refund transaction will reverse a transaction which was completed only if the transaction to be reversed is in a batch which has been closed. If a batch is still open, the transactions contained within it can only be 'Voided'. This is a different transaction type. When refunding a transaction, the refund amount may be any amount less than or equal to the amount of the Purchase or Capture transaction. |
| |
| Independent Refund |
| The Independent Refund transaction is designed to immediately credit an amount on a card. It is a refund that does not reference any capture or purchase in the eSELECTplus system. The merchant will need the card number to perform this type of refund. Independent Refunds are typically used to refund transactions that were processed prior to using eSELECTplus. |
| |
| Group Purchase |
| The Group Purchase function is designed to allow for multiple purchase transactions to be completed in one group at once. To process a Group Purchase, transaction information must first be entered. Once information for one transaction is properly filled out, click on 'Add Transaction to Group'. Assuming all information is properly formatted, the transaction will be registered in the group and the user will have the opportunity to add another transaction. |
| |
| Voice Auth |
| The Voice Auth transaction is designed to immediately charge an amount on a card using an authorization number obtained from an IVR or equivalent terminal. |
