The Credit Card Authorization window serves two purposes. First, for voice authorizations, it allows you to enter the voice authorization code provided by your credit card clearinghouse and receive authorization for that transaction. You can also manually enter a credit card transaction that is not associated with an order in FTD Mercury, including providing a refund to a credit card.

You must be a member of the FTD Cash-Flo program to authorize credit cards.

Sale Area

The Sale area contains the following settings:

Setting	Description
Number	If you are voice authorizing a credit card transaction, this number is the internally generated number assigned to the sale by FTD Mercury. If the credit card has been stored with FTD already, this field is disabled and the voice authorization will be processed using the credit card as stored. If the card has not been stored with FTD, you must enter a valid credit card number in this field. This field is not visible when manually entering a credit card transaction.
Amount	For manual credit card transactions, enter the total amount for this authorization, including any tax, delivery fees, etc. You can use the calculator if necessary. For credit card transactions you are voice authorizing, this field contains the amount for the authorization and is read-only.
Refund	When manually entering a credit card transaction, select this option if the authorization is for a refund.

Card Area

The fields in this area are read-only for voice authorizations. For manual credit card transactions, you must enter the information.
