Great for catalog, home-based businesses, and inbound and outbound telesales, anytime your customer is not present when you process the sale. In these "card-not-present" situations, you manually enter your customer's credit card with one of our flexible solutions.
Easy-to-Use, Flexible Solutions
There are two main ways to process card-not-present transactions:
- Use a Terminal: If your business does a mix of face-to-face and card-not-present sales, use a terminal. You can manually key-in credit information, yet still be able to swipe cards and qualify for the lower, card-swiped rates.
- Use Your PC: Turn your PC into a "virtual" terminal with card-processing software, such as our Internet Gateway software or QuickBooks Financial Software, both FREE when you get an Innovative merchant account.
For more information about these options, see our Products section. No matter which option you choose, you'll get set up quickly with a robust card processing solution.
Integration with QuickBooks
Are you a QuickBooks user? With just a few clicks of the mouse our solutions automatically download transactions into your QuickBooks. Eliminate the need to record your sales data by hand.
