Contact UsWhat Is a Virtual Terminal?
A virtual terminal is an online payment system that allows businesses to manually enter customer card details into a secure web portal.
Instead of the customer physically presenting their card, the business processes the transaction on their behalf. This makes virtual terminals ideal for call centres, remote businesses, service providers, and businesses that handle card-not-present (CNP) transactions.
How Virtual Terminals Work
Using a virtual terminal is simple and efficient.
When a customer provides their card details over the phone or via a secure communication method, the business logs into the virtual terminal platform and enters the payment information into a secure form.
The system then encrypts the data and sends it through a payment gateway to the customer’s bank for authorisation. Within seconds, the transaction is approved or declined, and the payment is processed. A confirmation can then be sent to the customer immediately, ensuring transparency and trust.
QixPay’s virtual terminal integrates seamlessly with other payment solutions, allowing businesses to manage all transactions in one place.
