Batch

A group of the day's captured transactions submitted together for settlement. Merchants typically batch once a day; batching promptly helps transactions qualify for the best rates.


Why it matters for your business

Terms like Batch aren't just jargon — they sit behind what you actually pay to accept payments. Understanding them is the difference between reading your statement and being at the mercy of it. If you're not sure how this shows up in your own costs, the fastest way to find out is to have someone read your statement line by line.
