Syntax

Remarks

A batch inquiry will provide the host batch totals to the Point Of Sale (POS). If the POS and the Host are out of balance, discrepancies can be corrected prior to the batch being released. A batch inquiry will not release the batch for settlement. Use the BatchRelease method or Paymentech's online merchant interface to settle the batch.

Batch Inquiry and Release response data will be returned in the ResponseBatchNumber, ResponseBatchNetAmount, ResponseBatchTransCount, ResponseBatchOpen, and ResponseBatchClose properties. Additional information concerning the type of transactions in the settlement will be broken down into the PaymentTypeName, PaymentTypeNetAmount and PaymentTypeTransCount properties.
