Online credit card transaction

Not started

Online credit card transactions are processed much like in-store purchases, except the merchant never sees the card, no impression is taken, and no signature is available — making them Cardholder Not Present (CNP) transactions. Five parties are involved: consumer, merchant, clearinghouse, merchant bank, and card-issuing bank.

  • Describe the five parties in an online credit card transaction.
  • Explain the step-by-step online credit card purchasing cycle.
  • Understand the role of SSL/TLS and the merchant account.
  • Identify the limitations of online credit card payment systems.
