A virtual terminal is a payment terminal hosted online. Virtual terminals are secure web pages in your internet browser from which you can process card payments online without your customer or their card being present. It is known as “virtual” because it has the same function as a physical card terminal, but instead, it uses non-physical transaction software. Virtual terminals can be accessed and used from any device with an internet connection – be it a PC, a mobile, or a tablet. How do virtual terminals work? The virtual terminal is usually accessed through a secure web page by the business owner, while logged in to their payment provider’s online account. Payments can be processed manually by entering the customer’s debit or credit card details, which may be provided over the phone, on a mail order form, or through a secure online chat. The customer’s card is then charged, and the money is transferred to the business owner’s payment provider account or bank account safely and quickly. The processing fees will be deducted from the final total. To find out more about how you could sell goods directly to customers through your website, read about our payment gateway service.
