Corrections

To Complete a Pre-Authorized Credit Card

This Quick Reference Guide provides you with simple, step-by-step instructions of your daily terminal operations. For your convenience, the guide is divided into the following sections:

Sales or credits that were performed incorrectly may be corrected in
the terminal. These reversals can only be done if the terminal has not
been balanced since the incorrect transaction was made. If the termi­nal was balanced, refer to section 4-Refunds. If the transaction being
reversed is a debit card transaction, the card must be present.

Pre-authorization of a credit card provides you with an approval code
confirming that funds are available to the cardholder. It does not
charge the card. The customer is charged the transaction amount only
upon completion of the pre-authorization transaction. Pre-authorizing
a card places a hold on the funds for a period of five to seven days. If
you do not complete the pre-authorization within this time, the hold
will be released. CHIP cards being used for a Pre-Auth will require the
cardholder to be present for PIN entry.

PRE-AUTHORIZATION continued

Use Pre-authorization in order to:

 Access the tip line in restaurant or salon settings
 Place a hold on funds for hotel check-in, car or equipment rental

Refer to your card acceptance agreement for more information
regarding pre-authorizations. In restaurant environments, pre-authori­zations should not be done when CHIP cards are presented by the card­holder. Chip cards in a restaurant environment should be processed
as "PURCHASE" transactions. Tip entry is available at the time of the
purchase for CHIP and debit cards.

Card Inserted or Swiped Through Terminal

Magnetic-stripe credit cards may be swiped or keyed, but if you key a
credit card, you must obtain a manual imprint of the card to prove that
the card was present. Failure to do so could result in a chargeback.
Chip cards are inserted by the cardholder into the card reader and
must remain inserted for the duration of the transaction. CHIP Cards
may not be embossed for imprinting and should be swiped only if your
terminal prompts you to do so. Note: For Debit and CHIP card transac-

tions, you will be prompted to pass the terminal to the customer, who
will confirm the amount and enter their PIN to process the transaction.
