eCheck operations

Sale

The Sale transaction is the most basic and most common transaction, used for the sale/purchase of goods or services. This type of transaction compares the account holder’s account balance to the amount specified in the transaction. If the amount specified is available, the transaction is approved by the bank and an approval code is returned. If the amount is not available, or the transaction is denied for any other reason by the bank, an error message containing the reason is returned.
