You might have to ask again. I'm not sure what you need to know so I'll try to explain how it works. You buy an item with a credit card. The clerk swipes the card through a machine. The machine is like a computer. If you have credit available it approves the sale. The purchase is automatically charged to your credit account. If you had $500 worth of credit, you now have less credit available. It's all handled electronically. If you are purchasing an item that costs over $250 the clerk sometimes has to phone a number to get an authorization code. The company who accepts your credit card has to pay 5% of the amount (of your purchase) to the credit card company. If you have cash & a credit card - you can ask the company to give you a 5% discount for paying cash. Sometimes a company will do it.
