AnyCard Basic: The Main Screen
Card information is entered on AnyCard's Main Screen (shown below). You can manually enter information or it can be imported from other programs. The only information that is necessary on the Main Screen is the card number, expiration date and amount, but you can include additional information, such as the customer's address if you plan to do an Address Verification. There's also a place to write notes to yourself about the transaction.
You'll
notice on the screen above that you can "validate" the card before calling
the processing center. AnyCard's internal validation process checks
to see whether the card number is valid and accurate before calling the
processing center. This is a handy feature since you'll know right
away if you've accidentally typed in the number incorrectly--or someone
has given you an improper or fraudulent number.
You'll find other time saving features on the Main Screen. If you
need to contact the customer about something, you can click on the "Dial"
button (blue button to right of the Phone blank) and the customer's phone
number will be dial for you. Or you can click on the email button
which will automatically start your email program.
Once the card information is entered, you're ready to authorize it. That's done by clicking the "Start Authorization" button, and the following dialog box pops up:
When
the "Authorization Process" dialog box appears (shown above), it's just
a matter of making a few clicks with your mouse. The program calls
the authorization center, and when the authorization center requests the
information, you click the appropriate buttons. You don't have to
worry about keying in long strings of numbers, it's all done for you.
When the center gives you the authorization number, just click on the "Enter
Approval Code" button, type in the number provided, and when you exit,
the code is recorded in your credit card data base. You can do credits,
voids, AVS checks or process additional cards. When finished, you
can export the authorization codes to other programs.
Other features include multi-phone number support. If you have two
or more processing centers that you call for authorizations, you can can
choose which center you wish to call before beginning the authorization
transaction. If desired, you can also tell AnyCard to round off the
amount to the nearest whole dollar before transmitting.
