What Is a Virtual Terminal?

A virtual terminal is a secure web application that lets you manually enter a customer's card details and process a payment from any computer, tablet, or smartphone — no physical card reader needed.

It's the modern equivalent of a credit card imprinter — but it's digital, secure, and available anywhere. Your customer reads you their card number over the phone, you type it in, and the payment is processed instantly.

Virtual terminals are essential for businesses that take phone orders, send invoices, or provide services remotely — and they're included with most of our merchant accounts at no extra charge.
