Transactions can enter the EdgCapture system from multiple sources. Interactive database clients, ECCO clients, and the Transaction Manager submit credit card transactions to EdgCapture for authorization continuously and receive the results as soon as the transactions are processed, allowing timely user notification and updating of the order entry system. Batch clients accept files of credit card transactions from any source and verify each transaction in the file before submitting them for authorization. After processing, batch clients generate a response file, which can be used to update the source system.

Periodically EdgCapture collects the authorized sale transactions and credits and submits them to the settlement processor, which performs the final funds transfer.
