How to take card payments over the phone

 

There are a couple of different options available for businesses looking to accept payments by phone.

 

 

  • Network Terminal Icon

    Virtual Terminal

    Once you’re set up with Handepay’s virtual terminal, you can give your customers the option to pay over the phone. All you need to do is take your customers card details over the phone and enter them into the secure web-based interface presented via the virtual terminal. It’s a simple, fast and secure way to process phone payments.

  • Customer not present Icon

    Customer Not Present (CNP)

    All of our card machines can be used for cardholder not present transactions. It’s probably the most suitable option if you only process a handful of phone payments in comparison to other methods. Thanks to our ‘customer-not-present’ facility, you can easily take payments from your customers over the phone or by mail order.
