Processing transactions in Sage Exchange Desktop
Sage Exchange Desktop provides a user interface for all types of credit card transactions such as sales, credits (or refunds), and vault storage. Software developers can enable or disable functionality according to the needs of the integrated application; therefore, the Sage Exchange Desktop windows (and options) available to you vary depending on the application.
For example, some applications can process transactions such as credit card sales and credits. When you initiate a credit card transaction, the corresponding Sage Exchange Desktop dialog box opens automatically to process the transaction.
Other applications may use Sage Exchange Desktop only to store credit card data without processing transactions. Additionally, some applications can process “silent” (or non-UI) transactions, where the user is not required to swipe a card or to enter/verify credit card data in Sage Exchange Desktop. These transactions are processed through Sage Exchange Desktop then a confirmation message is returned to the application.
