Virtual Terminals
Take payments by phone, email, mail order or face to face.
What Is A Virtual Terminal
Similar to an eCommerce account, a virtual terminal is a web-based application that enables you to take payments by phone, mail order, email, or face to face. You can use any existing desktop, laptop, smartphone, and turn it into a POS system. For in-person payments, you will be able to connect a card reader to a laptop via USB input, however it is not necessary. As long as you have got a merchant account with a payment gateway and are online then you have a virtual terminal with the facility to take payments at your fingertips.
