In the "View Admin" menu, what does the "Create Batch" button do? 

Thanks!

Jeremy,

You can download batches for accounts registered with the Yahoo merchant gateway and for Authorize.net accounts.  For other account types, such as Direct Connect, PayPal or "Other" accounts there is not currently a way to download the batches so we add this ability to at least create them manually.  This function searches your orders for any transactions not yet marked as batched (Which you can list in a report by going to "View", "Orders" and then "Actions", "Payment Events", "Unbatched Events Report".  You can also tell them apart on the order details screen, where batched events have a green check mark next to them and unbatched events don't).  All unbatched events that match the account type of the account you choose to make the batches for will be added to a batch.  If you have the account set to have daily batches it will create one batch for each day it finds one or more orders.  If you don't have this option checked, it will just make one batch for all unbatched events.

Thanks,
David
