Credit Workflow

A credit does not happen in real time. All of the credit requests for a day are typically placed in a file and sent to the processor as a single batch
transaction. In most cases, the batch transaction is settled overnight.

This image and description provide information about the credit workflow:

The merchant requests a credit.

The order information is validated.

The credit request is sent to the acquirer.

The acquirer transfers the requested funds to the issuer.
