Taking card payments over the phone is easy with a virtual terminal and it can help you adapt quickly to a click and collect, or delivery service, to help you keep trading.
It's a secure page that you can login to online to process a card payment whilst you've got a customer on the end of the line.
No website is needed, just an internet-enabled device, like a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Your customers can give you a ring with their credit or debit card details, which you just need to enter into a form on the page.
They’re straightforward to use and you don’t need to be a technical whizz to get started. You get real-time reporting too, which helps you keep track of your payments.
You can use any device that's connected to the internet.
Fill in the form with your customers' payment details.
Submit the form, send the receipt and that's it, you’re done!
