Processing Phone Orders

You have the ability to process credit card orders manually for phone or fax orders. While these orders will not have transaction revenue fees applied by Yahoo!, we recommend that you instead place an order in your store as a customer would. Orders placed using the Manual Transactions link will not have a record of the transaction stored anywhere other than the batch file. Placing an order as a customer through your Store will give you a more detailed record of the transaction including an order number, customer information, and items associated with that order.

Use the instructions below for processing credit card orders manually for your payment processor:

Manual transactions for Bank of America Merchant Services/FDMS-compatible merchant accounts

To manually charge or credit a credit card:

  1. Sign in to your Store Manager.
  2. Click the "Manual Transactions" link in the "Process" column of your Store Manager.
  1. Enter information for the following required fields (see A-C
    Figure 1):
    1. Card Number

    3. Amount
    (see additional fields)
  2. Click Sale to charge the card or click Credit to credit money onto the card. (A confirmation page loads.)

If the transaction is successfully submitted, you'll see a status page that says Result OK as well as the Transaction ID (see Figure 2), if you do not see Result OK, the charge did not go through. If you are experiencing errors when attempting to process a manual transaction, we recommend that you only fill in the 3 required fields and attempt to process the order again.

The remaining fields on the Transactions page are optional and in most cases not necessary:

  • Card Verification Value - Enter the three-digit card security number which appears on the back of the card in the signature panel in this field to get a CVV Response Code.
  • Transaction code - Listed on the Confirmation page after processing the sale.
  • Authorization code - If you received a voice authorization code, enter it here.
  • Address & Zip - If you would like to do an Address Verification check you can enter the street address & Zip/Postal code in these fields.
  • Authorization - In most cases you should leave this field blank. An authorization will occur when you process the sale.
Important Notes:
  • When completing a Sale you do not need to Authorize first. A Sale will also initiate the Authorization.
  • Print out the confirmation page for your records. This page contains the Transaction ID which is required if you want to void the transaction. Be sure to save the page in a secure place.
  • Manual transactions can be used to charge a phone or fax order. However, we recommend that you instead place an order in your Store as a customer would. Orders placed using the Transactions link will not have a record of the transaction stored anywhere other than the batch file. Placing an order as a customer through your Store will give you a more detailed record of the transaction including an order number, customer information, and items associated with that order.

To void a transaction:

  1. Enter the Transaction ID in the "Transaction ID" field under Void Transactions (shown on the confirmation page after processing the sale).
  2. Click Void Sale. A confirmation page will appear confirming the transaction has been voided.
