Point of Sale (POS) Glossary
Electronic Draft Capture (EDC) is the procedure that a POS system uses to process the closure of a financial transaction. When a buyer uses a credit or debit card, a POS retrieves the customer’s financial information, records the amount due, and transmits the request for the transaction. The EDC process happens after a card is processed at the point of sale terminal, an authorization has been received, the transaction is approved, and a batch is submitted.
The EDC is the capture of funds and involves the initiation of withdrawal of an electronic bank draft. It is a critical part of a point of sale transaction process. The EDC is triggered when a merchant submits a batch operation to the processing company. The process usually completes within a few days, with the result being that the money is received in the merchant’s account.

Should You Collect Charitable Donations?
You’ve probably been at the register at the grocery store and asked if you wanted to contribute money to a charity as you checked out. Maybe you donated, or perhaps you found it was annoying. It might have depended on your mood that day, or possibly the charity was a deciding factor.
