Virtual Terminal

A Virtual Terminal is a useful tool for businesses that do not need an actual piece of hardware to accept a payment face to face from a consumer.

A virtual terminal is a web portal that is behind a secure password that allows businesses to take card details of their customers and to process payments over the phone or with the merchant present.

Call Centres

Businesses that take MOTO transactions

Advantages for your virtual terminal are that you can take a payment from anywhere you have logged in. It’s quick and easy to make a payment and you can even have as many users as you like, making it a cost-effective way to collect payments for your staff.

Virtual terminals are usually provided by the acquirer on their platform, although at Modern World Business Solutions our merchant platform has a Virtual terminal built-in as standard. This not only saves the merchant money but makes it very simple for all of our merchants to accept payments via a virtual terminal without the extra costs of rental that would usually occur.

Our virtual terminal payment page can be branded as you as the merchant or as our white label payments partner.

How secure is a phone payment?

Our virtual terminals are already equipped and waiting jammed packed with all the latest security settings to help you combat the world of fraudulent phone payments. Below are two extra layers of security that are added.

Address Verification System (AVS) – This is where your customers are asked for their billing address details before the payment completes

Card Verification Value (CVV or CV2) –This is where your customers are asked to provide their card security code, otherwise known as “ the last three digits”

This information helps the banks identify the card user is a genuine one.
