Unsettled Transactions

The Unsettled Transactions page allows you to review transactions that have not yet been sent for settlement. Depending on the status of these transactions, they can be either voided, or captured and submitted for settlement.

View Transactions

The unsettled transactions are displayed in descending order by Transaction ID, which is the unique identification number assigned to a transaction by the payment gateway.

Click the Next and Prev links at the top or bottom of the table to navigate backward and forward through the pages of records. You can also use the View All option to see all transactions on a single page. This is recommended only if the summary of transactions contains 50 records or less.

To view detailed information for a specific transaction, click on the Transaction ID. The Transaction Detail page opens. Depending on the transaction’s status, the Transaction Detail page might display the Void and/or Capture buttons. You can void or capture the single transaction from this page by clicking the appropriate button.

Sort Transactions

By default, transactions are sorted in descending order by Transaction ID. Clicking on a column header will sort transactions in descending order based on the information provided in that column. For example, to sort transactions from most recent to oldest, click the Settlement Date column header once. Clicking again on the same column header will resort transactions in ascending order. An arrow next to the column header indicates the current sort order for the record set.

An up arrow indicates that the sort is ascending (A-Z) and a down arrow indicates that the sort is descending (Z-A). You can sort transactions by the following columns: Transaction ID, Submit Date/Time, Customer Name, Payment Method, and Payment Amount.

Step 2: Click View. Only those transactions for the selected payment method are listed.
