VIRTUAL TERMINAL SOLUTION FOR MANAGING

PAYMENTS ONLINE
MAR 06, 2015

Virtual Terminal is an application that is ho sted online to create a merchant dashboard with log in information only accessible through internet connection and web -browser. It is the web version
of the Credit Card POS terminal. In this article, MONEXgroup will highlight the features and
benefits of Virtual Terminal solution for merchants who are looking to accept Credit Card
payments through online payment management software.

Virtual Terminal is secured with PCI compliance.

Virtual Terminal is a simplified payment infrastructure built for merchants who run small -to-mid-sized
businesses and deal with phone-in orders or a remote customer base. With the Virtual Terminals
comprehensive set of payment management functions, all transaction details are obtained to process
sales, authorization, refunds or voids on any web browser. Virtual Terminal is secured with PCI
compliance that includes a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) developed for onlin e Payment Processing
Solution. The features of accepting Credit Card payments with Virtual Terminal are:

1. Logging in to the application with unique user ID which comes with multi -tiered access
2. Building a customer database by generating full contact information
3. Creating customer profiles with transaction details or history of records
4. Managing all payments by creating a set of transactions and grouping them
5. Settling automatic batches of marked tra nsactions for retrieval of information, storage of data or
production of order review
6. Customizing an Email Receipt (E -Receipt) to be sent to the customers inbox automatically
One of the advantages of Virtual Terminal is the Interchange Rate (%) Optimizati on for Card-NotPresent transactions. In the absence of a POS terminal and as the Credit Card is not physically swiped
to the POS machine to process payments, the cardholder information will be inserted to the Virtual
Terminal by the merchant. The Interchange Rates (%) in this case vary depending on the Level of Data
security (Level I, II, III) provided by the Virtual Terminal software and the authorization of the
cardholder information when scanning their data online.
Therefore, a supportive Virtual Terminal that is built for Card-Not-Present transactions like Orbital
Payment Gateway ensures merchants with a full range of online tools to securely process their
transactions in the absence of the POS terminal with the options of authorization only, authorization
and capture, refunds and voids. This functionality comes in support of features such as Address
Verification System (AVS), Account Verification and Card Verification Valu es, including Visas
CVV2 (Card Verification Value 2), MasterCards CVC2 (Card Validation Code 2), American Express
Card Identification Number (CID) and Discovers CID fraud reduction programs. Such security
standards ensure the scalability of payment proc essing and optimize the Interchange Rates (%) for
merchants who are processing online credit card payments on regular basis (Orbital Virtual Terminal
User Guide, (pg #16), November 2014).
