Processing Order-credit card not charged yet?

I made an online purchase yesterday and according to my online banking, my credit card has not been charged yet, nor have I received any type of confirmation email. The site says it takes 1-2 days to process orders- is the "processing" of an order what needs to happen before my card gets charged, and I get emailed? Thanks, this is obviously my first online purchase.

    What happens with me is that I buy something (lets say Monday) then about Wednesday/Thursday I’ll get a confirmation order. If I haven’t by then I ask the person I bought the product from. :)

    they will consider it a monday Transaction
    too bad you don’t tell what site you were on- it makes it very hard to check your question
    for verification ..

    Yes. It generally takes one or two business days for the transaction to post to your credit card. That’s true for "brick and mortar" store purchases as well as on-line retailers. Transaction posting is not a "real time" process.
