# Close batch

Understand when batches close and how closing supports payment deposits.

A batch collects the credit and debit card payments you process during a business day.

Close the batch to send its transactions to Xplor Pay for processing. Xplor Pay submits the transactions to the appropriate card brand, calculates fees, and sends your deposit advice through ACH.

### Determine how your batches close

Your payment software may close batches automatically. If so, no action is required.

Some setups require you to close batches manually. For example, restaurants often close their batch after entering daily tips.

### Confirm your setup

If you are unsure whether batches close automatically, contact your salesperson, software provider, or Xplor Pay.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.xplorpay.com/transactions-batches-deposits/close-batch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
