CreditLine Server Program is usually installed and run on the Point Of Sale Server machine. Point Of Sale program communicates with CreditLine Server through a text file or API (programming interface) instructing CreditLine Server to process authorization and other payment related transaction. CreditLine Server must be running for CreditLine to operate. CreditLine Server maintains a Transaction Database to enable operations like End Of Day Batch, Void, Add Tip etc. Payment transactions are usually batched at the end of the day.
