Merchant Batch Order Process

Any electronic payment for an Order will be added to a Merchant Batch the day it occurs.  You can also read about What are the different types of GL Batches?

SalesLink

Previously, GL Batches in SalesLink were only generated when running the End of Day process. This lead to a scenario where credit cards wouldn’t be batched until the End of Day process was ran, which can cause reconciliation issues.

Credit card payments batch together every night during the Nightly Process, regardless of if the End of Day process has been run.

For example:

Day Credit Card Sales Cash Sales End of Day Ran? Merchant Batch Total Cash Batch Total
1 $1,500 $500 No $1,500 $0
2 $2,000 $750 Yes $2,000 $1,250
3 $900 $625 Yes $900 $625
Split Tender

The following scenario can arise with a split tender order:  a $50 order where $30 is paid via credit card and $20 paid with cash.

Day Credit Card Payment Cash Sales End of Day Ran? Merchant Batch Total Cash Batch Total
1 $30 $20 No $30 $0
2 Yes $20

One order would show up in two different GL batches. The best practice is to make sure that you run the End of Day process each day.

Webstore
