Accept payments for sales made over the phone or through mail with ease. Our virtual terminal provides a straightforward solution for managing credit and debit card transactions related to offline sales, all without the need for a dedicated website or point-of-sale (POS) system. When an order comes in through mail or phone, you can quickly process payments using a credit or debit card. There is no requirement for coding, additional software, or specific hardware—simply use a web browser. Each action taken within the Virtual Terminal is logged in your PayPal reports for your convenience.

Once your transaction is approved, the funds are generally credited to your account within minutes, and the transaction details will be visible in your Activity reports and other relevant documentation. This streamlined approach not only simplifies sales management but also significantly improves your business operations, allowing for a more organized workflow.
