• Transactions are labeled as Failed, Declined, or Approved.
• Customer contact information displays for Declined transactions.
5. Save the report to a USB drive, or email the report in Excel, PDF, or Word format.
• Note: See Schedule and Email Reports for more details on sending reports.

Complete offline transactions by closing the batch. See the following topics for more information on batching out in restaurant and retail environments:

1. Tap Complete Auth in the Register app (Restaurants, Salons) or Close Batch (Retail) in the Register app.
2. In the Review work area, tap Close Batch.
3. Each transaction in the batch is processed.
• Successful online transactions are assigned a newly generated Auth Code.
• Note: Offline transactions are given Auth Codes that have the letter O in the alphanumeric code. After you process a transaction successfully, Exatouch attaches a new authorization code to the transaction.
• Declined transactions move to the Open Orders work area. Use Get Order in the Register app to access each order and process a different payment method. A declined transaction status may be due to insufficient funds, or card information mismatch.
• Failed transactions indicate another error, such as a communication error. These transactions remain in the offline batch.
• Tip! Contact Customer Support if you need assistance with offline transactions.
