Paperless Virtual Terminal Reporting:
Our "Front-end" authorization reporting tool for check and credit card transactions made through the Paperless Hosted pages, API or Virtual Terminals. It shows all transaction data including name, date, amount, transaction type and any notes or information in custom fields. Our new Reconciliation module also imports “back-end” financial settlement information from credit card processing that allows users to verify that authorized transactions were submitted for settlement. It will soon do the same for check and ACH transaction settlements as well. ***Disclaimer- Check writers must be notified that their check is processed
electronically and they will not get a physical copy of their check. They may opt-out at any time
they desire by notifying your organization.
