Credit Card Processing is poor way tracking sales! (Score 1)

Processing credit card orders costs companies money. Depending on the frequency that you process them. But companies can adjust their frequency of orders processed and hold them for a few more days after a user buys something. This saves them money. So instead of charging immediately for each order they can wait a few days to see if the customer orders anything else before processing the completed order. The fact that the number of CCs processed is lower by 65% more then likely indicated that they are now saving a lot more money then before.
