What is PayPal Virtual Terminal?

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.

To begin, log into your PayPal Business account via your web browser and navigate to the Virtual Terminal from your dashboard or the Business Tools section.

To enhance the efficiency of your transactions, you can take advantage of the optional Quick Order form. This feature allows you to input shipping or delivery addresses along with any necessary contact details.

After completing the transaction, you can choose to send an email receipt and also print a pre-filled packing slip along with a PayPal Shipping label.

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. Additionally, your customers will appreciate the promptness and professionalism of the service provided.
