Online Transactions with CyberCash

For online transactions, CyberCash provides credit card services that includes

authorization, capture, voids, returns, etc. Currently, the Drumbeat CyberCash

SmartElement provides the capability to authorize and capture credit card charges.

In the terminology of credit card processing, 'authorization' means verifying that

the credit card has sufﬁcient credit to cover the requested purchase. 'Capture'

means submitting a charge to the credit card and depositing funds in your bank

account. Payment scripts encapsulated in the CyberCash SmartElement enable

both 'Authorization Only' and 'Authorization and Capture' processing modes.

The processing mode executed by these scripts is a conﬁguration parameter set by

CyberCash when you 'go live.' Note that the ability to do Authorization and

Capture depends on the ﬁnancial institution and the details of your account.
