How to take card payments over the phone
There are a couple of different options available for businesses looking to accept payments by phone.
-
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 (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.
The benefits of taking payments by phone
One of the best things about accepting card payments over the phone is that your business is far less limited by location and much more accessible to customers over a wider geographical area.
With Handepay’s phone payment service, you can accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure transactions.
