Direct Debit and Credit Card Transmission Files

A transmission file contains all the information necessary to electronically transfer funds from a constituent’s bank account or credit card to your organization’s bank account. Two types of transmission files exist — direct debit and credit card. Each transmission file is associated with a specific revenue batch. After you create a direct debit transmission file, you send it to your organization’s bank to be processed. After you create a credit card transmission file, the program sends it to the Blackbaud Payment Service to securely process the transactions with your payment gateway.
