According to eply.com, online credit card processing is becoming much more common as consumers grow comfortable making online purchases. This change in thinking puts pressure on event planners to allow event participants to pay registration fees online using their credit cards. In the end, both event planners and participants win in terms of convenience, accuracy and security. Here is a simplified sequence of events that take place to process an online real time credit card processing transaction for an event registration.

The event participant fills out the online from, enters his/her credit card details and clicks submit. The credit card details are sent to the gateway company for processing. The gateway company sends the transaction details to the credit card company that issued the card. The credit card company approves or declines the transactions and reports back to the gateway company. The gateway company passes this information back to the online registration system and the event participant. If the transaction is approved the event participant will see a webpage confirming the transaction and will receive a receipt via email. If it is declined the event participant can try again. The online registration system is updated with the information from the gateway company. Funds are transferred to a merchant account and the then to the designated bank account
