Payment Processing Steps:

Step 1: Consumer places an order with the merchant through the Website

Step 2: Merchant submits the order/transaction via the gateway service. The system securely encrypts and forwards the Authorization Request to the Consumer's Credit Card Issuer to verify the consumer's credit card account and funds availability.

Step 3: The Authorization (or Decline) Response is returned via the system to the Merchant. This process typically averages around 2 seconds.

Step 4: Upon approval, the Merchant fulfills the consumer's order.

Step 5: The system sends the settlement request to the Merchant service provider.

Step 6: The Merchant Service provider deposits transaction funds into the merchant's business checking or depository account.
