Credit card transactions in PRONTO are posted to a clearing account.
Background
The nature of ecommerce is that online payment transactions can be put through 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; this . This makes reconciliation of credit card payments more difficult due to different cut-off times for transfer of payments in to the supplier's account. For example, online payment transactions processed after 5PM on a given day may be accounted for by the bank on the following day. The effect of this issue is a variance between total orders value for a day compared to payments deposited into a supplier's account.
