Asynchronous payment processing

The Sterling Order Management System transactions and user exits can be configured to communicate asynchronously with external payment processing systems.

The requests for authorization and charge then can be dispatched in a batch mode, and updates can be made all at once, based on the results of the request. The payment status of the order in Sterling Order Management System shows whether the request is still outstanding or has been processed.

Note: An order will not move to the Paid status if there are any pending authorizations in the system. After there are no pending authorizations, the order will move to Paid status and will get purged.
