Financial Exchange

Credit and debit batch times have been changed to 12:00 am local time to reduce interference with retail business operations.

  • This change is effective immediately for credit card transactions.
  • The change will also be made for debit card transactions within the next 4 business days. Until the change is completed for debit transactions, batching will continue to occur at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Issues relating to remote stores potentially displaying breakout incorrectly after financial exchange with QuickBooks have been fixed.
GoPayment transactions will now be grouped together in QuickBooks reconciliation after financial exchange.
