​
Sign-up

Latitude credentials can be required from Latitude merchant support.

​
Deferred Settlement vs Instant Settlement

Merchants with Instant Settlement need to be set up with the Latitude/Gem Instant Settlement connection, so funds are captured right away during a transaction. For Deferred Settlement, merchants must use the Latitude/Gem Deferred Settlement connection, meaning they’ll need to capture the funds manually after authorization.

​
