Host capture

Host Capture is an authorization solution that allows transactions to be authorized then stored in a TSYS host site instead of a POS device. Unlike the terminal capture environment, the programming for the terminal is stored at the host site rather than the POS Device.

Transactions are stored at the host and transaction receipt data is sent to the POS device in order to print the receipt. Host capture interface reformats and augments the message and sends it to the card brand networks for authorization, as well as the host capture database.
