The money is debited from the customer\u2019s account and credited to the merchant\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<p>It happens millions of times each day. But how? Who plays what role in the business behind the curtain?<\/p>\n<p>This blog demonstrates the \u201cmagic\u201d behind the credit card transaction process. In this post and accompanying infographic, you\u2019ll see the role Global Payments Integrated plays in the credit card transaction lifecycle. This includes the payment application provider, the (front-end) processor, and transaction gateway. Our parent company, Global Payments, Inc., serves as the back-end processor and works directly with the card brands.<\/p>\n<p>And remember \u2013 this all happens in a matter of a few seconds.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Who is Involved in a Credit Card Transaction?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There are numerous parties involved in the credit card transaction process flow, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The customer who presents their credit card for payment when buying goods or services<\/li>\n<li>The merchant who sells the goods or services<\/li>\n<li>The merchant\u2019s bank who transmits the credit card transaction to be approved<\/li>\n<li>The payment processor who processes the credit card transaction<\/li>\n<li>The credit card issuer, which includes banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions that issue credit cards<\/li>\n<li>The card brand, such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>The Credit Card Transaction Process<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>These 10 steps show the credit card transaction process:<\/p>\n<h6><strong>1. The customer initiates a purchase<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The credit card transaction process begins when the customer presents their credit card for payment. They may swipe or insert their credit card, or simply tap if they have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpaymentsintegrated.com\/en-us\/blog\/2019\/03\/06\/the-next-big-thing-in-payment-processing-emv-contactless\">EMV contactless<\/a> capabilities.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>2. The merchant requests authorization after processing the card information<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>From here, the merchant\u2019s bank processes the card information and then requests authorization from the appropriate credit card network, such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>3. The payment gateway routes card information to the processor<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The credit card issuer authorizes the transaction by sending back a unique code. If the credit card is declined, the customer will get a message at the point of sale.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>4. The processor, Global Payments, Inc., submits an authorization request to the credit card association<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Next, Global Payments, Inc. submits an authorization request, which includes the credit card details and transaction details to the credit card association.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>5. The card brand submits an authorization request to the issuing bank<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>An authorization request is sent from the card brand to the issuing bank and includes the credit card number, card expiration date, billing address, card security code, and the payment amount.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>6. The issuing bank approves the authorization request<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Once received, the issuing bank reviews the request and either approves or denies the transaction. A response is sent to the merchant via the same channels.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>7. The card brand routes the authorization to the acquiring bank<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>If the transaction is approved, the merchant receives an authorization and the issuing banks place a hold for the amount of the purchase on the customer\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>8. The acquiring bank forwards the authorization to the merchant<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>From here, the acquiring bank forwards the authorization to the merchant\u2019s POS terminal, which then collects and processes all approved transactions.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>9. The merchant accepts the transaction and completes the purchase<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The transaction is accepted by the merchant and the customer\u2019s purchase can be completed.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>10. The customer receives the purchased goods or services<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Finally, the customer receives their goods or services. Within the next month, the customer will receive the bill from their credit card issuer for any changes they have made.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-56566 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-1024x670.png\" alt=\"The lifecycle of a GPI Credit Card Transaction infographic\" width=\"800\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-1024x670.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-768x502.png 768w, https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-1536x1005.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.point-of-rental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-23-at-2.31.47-PM-2048x1340.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Credit Card Transactions and PCI Compliance<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>With every credit card transaction that takes place, it\u2019s important that customers\u2019 sensitive information is protected.
