For merchants using credit card payment authorization forms, it is extremely important to complete the form correctly so that the payment is not rejected or challenged for a charge back. While in many cases, credit card processing is automated, old fashioned credit card forms are the back-up in case the telephone lines are out, the electricity is down or internet processing is not available.
Completing the Form
There are several basic pieces of information that are required for the form. Make sure that you include a brief description of the items purchased. If there are several items, provide a description or item number for each piece of merchandise. Also include the price for each piece of merchandise. Make sure you double check to insure that you write the correct price down for each piece of merchandise.
Once you have all of this information completed on the form, then you need to total the merchandise and calculate any applicable sales tax. Then total the entire sale.
You also need to include the customer name and contact information. Usually a telephone number and driver’s license is adequate to indicate that you have verified that the person using the card is the cardholder.
Once you have all of this information, write down your merchant information if it is not preprinted on the merchant form. Swipe the card on the hard copy of the form.
Completing the credit card payment authorization is extremely important to insure correct and accurate payment to the merchant.
