Placing an Order After providing credit card information and a shipping address, the customer reviews the order. The order is encrypted and forwarded to the online processing center. The computer identifies the merchant and forwards the transaction to the merchant's bank. The merchant's bank gets approval from the consumer's credit card and transfers money into the merchant's account. The consumer is notified of the approval on screen and via e-mail.
Online processing takes under twenty seconds.
The merchant receives the order via e-mail and ships the products to the consumer. The merchant may request a financial statement of the transaction online.
