Card authorization is the process of obtaining payment authorization when a credit/debit card transaction is entered. Credit/debit card transactions can be authorized across these areas of iMIS:
■ AR/Cash: Sales transactions and cash receipts windows
■ Billing: Dues and subscriptions payments
■ Fundraising: Gifts, pledges, and fundraising payments
■ Service Central: Payment entries
■ Public view: Events registration and order entry
Card Authorization allows you to search by card number or customer ID to find credit/debit card transactions throughout iMIS.
Note: If Advanced PCI Compliance|topic=Implementing Advanced PCI Compliance options > Do not retain cardholder information is enabled, iMIS saves transactions without cardholder data and shows only gateway reference number and authorization code fields.
