Hey guys i have a unique question here,
Do to a delay in paper work (not on my side) I wasn't able to set up another account with my CC processor before I will be opening my next store (I have 2 already) on Monday.
I though i could just use the same info from another store which seems to work fine until I go to settle. (It will auth. the card and show in EDC) but then it spits back an error when I go to settle at the end of the night.
I think this is because I have already run that "Batch #" at the other location. I have figured out that if I mually stop the EDC service it will store the .SPL files locally and them I can just move those to my other store and run them. (by changing file extension, this part is already documented on here, as if EDC just went down)
My only concern with this method is, when running locally there is no "real" authorization going on, just the "fake" authorization that is printed on the receipt and theoretically I could be taking bad cards all day and not find out until that nigh when I move the files to another location.
Question:
1. Is there a way to manual advance the "Batch #"?
2. Once EDC authorizes the cards and then dumps them into the processors folder in EDC can I settle them somewhere else.
3. Is there a better way to do this I am not thinking of?
Thanks,
Matthew
