Virtual
Terminal
Our Virtual
Terminal is a secure, browser-based interface that
enables businesses to authorize, process and manage
credit card transactions from any computer that has an
Internet connection and a Web browser. After logging
into their account using a unique user ID and a
password, merchants can access the complete range of
services -- authorizations for purchases, credits and
returns, status and activity reports, and much more.
To authorize credit card transactions, the merchant must
complete an electronic form that provides the system
with the information it needs to complete the
transaction. This information is encrypted using the
latest 40 or 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0
technology and is sent to a host server. The server then
sends the data through the authorization network to the
appropriate card issuer's bank using a secure,
proprietary connection.
When the process is complete -- this usually takes about
three seconds -- the merchant receives an authorization
number, and the server stores the transaction.
Transactions are automatically settled each day and are
typically funded within two to three business days.
Merchants can also check the status of transactions and
run a variety of reports right from the user interface.
After successful authorization of an order, the system
gives you total control of the options that you can
choose for the transaction.
