ALERT!
Automatic Settlement Failure: Tuesday, April 23, 2013-Action Recommended
On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at approximately 11:00 pm EDT, Sage Payments identified a potential issue with automatic settlement. You may notice that your automatic settlement did not run on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 and you may still have transactions from April 22 and April 23 in your open batch. To prevent any delay in your funding, we recommend that you settle your batch manually.
This apparently is the result of a problem with the automatic batch settlement process at Sage Payments / SPS and it is affecting customers that are using the Virtual Terminal for processing.
The work around is for them to manually settle the batches.
Note: This message was reportedly received by at least one customer on April 24, 2013. By the time you read this the situation may be resolved but we’ve posted this here just
