Our Virtual Terminal service turns your computer into a Point of Sale (POS) device, enabling you to take Card Not Present (CNP) payments quickly, efficiently and securely. All you need is an internet connection and a secure web browser to log in.
How Easy Is A Virtual Terminal To Use?
If you’ve ever shopped online, you will have probably been redirected to a payment page at the end of entering your personal card details and then clicked “pay”. A virtual terminal operates in a similar method.
- Ensure you’re connected to the internet using an SSID. You then proceed to log in to your virtual terminal (please be aware you will need to set up a virtual terminal account with a payment processing provider in order for this to work).
- You will then proceed to enter the customer’s card details prompted by the online form whist conversing with the customer(s).
- Once this has been submitted, click on the “submit” (or words to those effect) button.
How Does A Virtual Terminal Work?
Virtual terminals offer simplicity. A few simple steps and you will be able to process card payments:
- A customer calls your business (this also applies to a customer mailing or faxing you) with their order details including card information.
- You would then log-in to your online virtual terminal
- You manually enter the card information to which the customer has provided you with (corresponding to the customer card).
- The payment is processed.
- The customer is charged to the sale amount, and the business receives the corresponding funds (minus the relevant transaction fees).
