Our virtual terminal allows merchants to manually process card-not-present transactions. Virtual terminals are typically used by businesses who do not have a physical point-of-sale system, but still need to process transactions through a payment gateway.
No need for specialised hardware or software and what’s more, our virtual terminals also provides a variety of other payment tools and platforms, such as recurring billing, invoicing, and reporting.
We guarantee peace of mind through customisable security options to minimise fraud risk such as tokenization and integration with third party fraud detection software.
Virtual terminals offer several benefits to businesses, especially those that operate in card-not-present environments.
Here are some ways virtual terminals are useful for businesses:
Our virtual terminals enable businesses to accept payments from customers over the phone, or via online forms. This expands the range of payment options available to customers, making it more convenient for them to complete transactions.
Our virtual terminal integrates with other business tools such as invoicing, customer management, and reporting to streamline operations by centralising payment processing and related tasks.
Process transactions and manage payments from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. This is especially useful for businesses with remote or mobile operations.
Virtual terminals simplify the payment process by providing a user-friendly interface for entering customer payment information. The platform securely handles the transaction, communicates with the payment gateway, and provides instant transaction response.
Service Based Businesses
Businesses in industries such as consulting, professional services, or home services can use virtual terminals to accept payments from clients over the phone or via online forms for services rendered.
Non-profit organisations
Virtual terminals can be useful for non-profits to accept donations and payments. This can include one-time donations, recurring contributions, or event registrations.
(MOTO) Businesses
Businesses that primarily receive orders over the phone can use virtual terminals to process payments. This includes retailers, subscription-based businesses, and businesses that sell products through direct mail marketing.
