Offline Credit Card Processing

Offline processing entails some labor on the part of the Merchant, but is easiest to adapt an existing business, and is generally more affordable for smaller Merchants. In this case, a business’s current credit card processor will suffice. With this method, the credit card information that is placed in the order is simply stored in the encrypted order logs for the Merchant to download at his/her convenience. The software does not "talk" directly with the bank to pre-authorize the card; instead the Merchant downloads the order information from the website and uses their in-house credit card terminal to process the charges manually.
