How are credit card transactions processed for online ticket purchases?
Each venue is set up with a merchant account and Authorize.net account (i.e. Internet Gateway). These two elements (the merchant account and Internet gateway) allow ticket buyers to securely transmit credit card data online. All ticket proceeds are directly deposited to the venue’s business bank account each night. There is no waiting period for ThunderTix to process and remit sales dollars back to your venue. In addition, venues can create box office user accounts for off-site sales. Box office staff can sell tickets directly to their customers at any desired location with an Internet connection and the sale will be logged and tied to that person for future reporting.
