Credit Card Payment Flow

The process typically involves the following steps: 

  1. The payer enters their credit card details on a website during the checkout process.  
  2. Preczn encrypts the entered data, creates, and returns a token to the Platform.  
  3. The Platform requests a Sale using the token. 
  4. Preczn sends the payment data to the Connection.  
  5. The Connection forwards the payment data to the card-issuing bank for verification and authorization.  
  6. The issuing bank approves or denies the transaction based on the cardholder's available credit and account status.  
  7. Upon authorization, the transaction is processed, funds are transferred from the cardholder's account to the Merchant's account, and the sale is completed.  
  8. Both the merchant and the buyer receive a confirmation of the transaction's outcome.
