Our club is running it’s very first tournament and 3 of the players needed to either renew their membership or purchase a new membership to play in the tourney. There are 3 players in the membership batch I created. Two paid by credit card and the other paid their membership with cash. With cash payments to the TD I use my credit card to make payment to the USCF. What I am not understanding is that the USCF is asking for $$$ on the 2 individuals that paid by credit card. I input their credit card info and it passed the test. The USCF has their credit card info but yet the USCF is asking me for payment for these 2 individuals. They are showing payment still due. Why? Thanks for your help. Dave.
Go back to where you entered the credit card information for the players. On the right side of the page, look for “Payment Source” under “Payment Information”. Change the Payment Source “From TD” to “Member Credit Card” then right below, enter the amount you will charge to the credit card. Do this for each member who paid by credit card.
Hope this helps.

It appears that this may have been a misunderstanding of the information on the batch submit form. It showed the ‘total due to USCF’ which included the amount due from the two third party cards, which are not charged until the batch is submitted, as well as the amount due from the TD for the membership that was paid for in cash on site.
Allowing TDs to submit third party charge cards is a hold-over from the past, when it was often difficult for organizers to set up charge card processing arrangements.
Organizers who want to accept charge cards can make their own arrangements (such as through PayPal) much more easily these days, and this facility may not be truly necessary any more.
Actually I find that feature quite useful.
