CHEQ Digest Release Notes
May 2024
The CHEQ Digest Newsletter is where we will share new product features, interface enhancements, and latest partnerships, along with many other exciting updates!
CHEQ Product Software
Extended Payment Time Window: Due to low connectivity at times, the API timeout has been increased to 60s; any order taking longer to process will be cancelled, show an error screen, and go back to the cart to retry payment.
Why it matters: Most payments will process within seconds, but we increased the processing window to allow for a longer capture time, resulting in less payment failures.
CHEQ Platform
Partner Web App (PWA): Can now search for revenue centers in the business profile tab; you no longer need to scroll through a list to find another revenue center.
CHEQ REPORTING
Payment Status Filters
Payment Status Filters have been set across all reports
Why it Matters: Keeping in mind that transactions can take 24-72 hours to settle, you should select the payment status filters that are relevant to the time period you are pulling the reports post event. For example, if you are pulling reports night of event, you should select Authorized, Sent for Settled, and Settled.
- Authorized: when the card used for the order has been authorized.
- Sent For Settle: when a transaction is sent for settlement.
- Pending Retry: when the capture of funds fails; system will retry to capture payment for 14-28 days, depending on the credit card company. There are a variety of reasons this can fail, including insufficient funds, suspected fraud, etc.
- Cancel Payment: when a user refunds or cancels an order whose payment status is authorized.
- Sent for Refund: when a payment has settled and a user refunds or cancels the order.
- Settled: when a payment has settled and funds are credited to an associated bank account.
- Pending: when a card is pending to be authorized; typically occurs in offline mode.
