Accept phone payments with a virtual terminal
A virtual terminal is a secure page that you can log into online to process a card payment whilst you've got a customer on the end of the line. You won't need a website to take payments with a virtual terminal, just an internet-enabled device, like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, to access the pay page.
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. Easy!
