Miva 4.22 - Verisign PF-Pro Automatic Capture ??

Hello,

We're using Verisign Payflow Pro to process transactions in our
shopping cart.

We have selected "Automatic Capture"

My question: Are the funds actually transferred into our account from
the customer's account at the time of the transaction, or are we
required to log in to our admin area and process the order?

Thanks, and sorry if this is a boneheaded question!

Tim

If you have your Payment Module set to capture funds, then no you do not
need to process the orders to receive funding.

You should however, make it a habit to reconcile your charges vs. orders
on a regular basis.

You want it set to Sale, this will do what you want. It automatically
approves it in Versign.

It sounds like you have it set to PreAuth. The card is authorized for
that amount, but not charged. You need to manually approve the orders.

Also, just because the card is charged doesn't mean you have the money.
The transaction has to settle which takes a few days. Each card and
processor is different. I think Verisign is 2 days on Visa and MC's. 3-4
on Amex.
