Need to take payments over phone, fax or mail order? You need a Virtual Terminal!

Dec. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- MaxPayNow's Virtual Terminal is perfect for businesses that manually process credit or debit card payments received by telephone, fax and mail order.

How does the virtual terminal work?
The virtual terminal works over the internet. You start by logging into your secure control panel where you go to process credit card sales. The control panel can be accessed using any standard web browser and is not just limited to computer use as any mobile device such as an iPhone or BlackBerry that is capable of browsing the internet can be used to process payments with the virtual terminal.

Once logged into your secure control panel the system will enable you to click on a "Make Payment" link. From this page you enter the cardholders name, address, credit card number and expiry date. As soon as you press the submit button the payment is processed in real time.

Once processed you do not need to retain any credit card information because you will receive a unique reference number for that transaction... That easy! It includes all the functionality of a traditional terminal (pdq machine) such as refunds, etc, but with a lot more besides, for example, you can perform fraud checks prior to processing the payment.
