Your transactions
must be “settled”
daily. Read this
section to ensure the
settlement process
operates smoothly.
SETTLING THE BATCH
ABOUT SETTLEMENT
A Settlement operation is used to close the current batch and
open a new batch for logging and accumulating transactions.
Your VeriFone terminal uses a Host Capture System (HCS),
meaning all transaction information is sent to and stored by the
host (Chase Paymentech) at the time of sale.
There are three settlement options: Manual Settlement,
Auto Settlement and Host Auto Settlement.
1 - MANUAL SETTLEMENT
If your terminal is set to manually settle, select
Settlement
from the main menu and follow the prompts displayed.
2 - AUTO SETTLEMENT
If your terminal is set to automatically settle, it will automatically
settle transactions in the current batch at a specific,
predetermined time, within a 24-hour period. When configured,
auto settlement begins any time after the set time occurs if there
are transactions in the batch, and the terminal will print
settlement reports upon completion.
For example, if auto settlement time is set to 22:30:00
(10:30 p.m.) then auto settlement occurs any time after
22:30:00. If the terminal is turned off before the set time,
and turned on again (usually the next morning), auto settlement
occurs at that time.
3 - HOST AUTO SETTLEMENT
Host Auto Settlement is a feature that must be selected either at
the time of initial terminal setup or must be set up by a Chase
Paymentech representative. If this feature is enabled, the
terminal will automatically settle transactions in the current batch
at 05:00:00 (5:00 a.m.) EST and will not print settlement reports
upon completion.
