Re: Credit Card processing

We are using First USA Paymentech for credit card validation of orders. We process credit card validation in batch as part of the pick run. Orders that are not approved are placed on credit hold and the allocations are cancelled. The bank can support real time transactions but we have found that the batch process is less expensive and works well within our process. We basically send them a formated file and receive a formated file back with acknowledgements.

The biggest headache has been that BPCS is designed around processing the order, creating an invoice and then receiving payment for it. With our process we actually receive payment (from the card) prior to invoicing.

You can contact me at (707) 224-3200 ext 2880 to discuss this.

I am looking for the best way to do credit card processing from the AS/400.  We have BPCS 405 CD.
We do have custom modification to allow the entry of credit numbers and for it travel through the BPCS system.
Primarily looking for validation, authorization, and charging customer.

Looking for front end validation in order entry (ORD500).  Possible allocation when order entered or the pick slip prints (ORD500 or ORD561) and to have invoicing (BIL540) to charge the customer and apply it to receivables.

On the web server Cyber Cash is being used. 

Any ideas or software to look at would be helpful.

Thanks for any help you can supply.
