The Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal enables businesses with an Authorize.Net account to begin credit card authorization, credit card processing, and managing credit card transactions from any computer in real time with an Internet connection and a Web browser. Virtual Terminal, this online, real time credit card processing system, replaces standard credit card authorization terminals or credit card processing software and provides the best online, real time credit card processing solution for merchant services accounts who manually enter credit card transactions for mail or phone order sales. Virtual Terminal is the ideal online, real time credit card processing solution for businesses of all sizes because it removes the complexity and expense normally associated with authorizing and processing credit card transactions, and it's much faster than standard dial-up credit card authorization systems.
Businesses with an Authorize.Net account simply access the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal
through our Web site using any industry standard Web browser. After logging on to the
system using a unique user ID and password, merchant accounts can access the complete
range of Authorize.Net’s online, real time credit card processing services. This
includes online, real time credit card authorizations for purchases, credits and returns,
status and activity reports, and much more. To authorize credit cards transactions in real
time, the merchant simply completes an electronic form that provides the Authorize.Net
credit card processing system with the information it needs to complete the online, real
time credit card transaction. This information is encrypted using the latest 40 or 128 bit
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 technology and sent to an Authorize.Net host server. The
server then sends the data through the online, real time credit card authorization network
to the appropriate credit card issuer's bank over a secure, proprietary connection. When
the process is complete -- this takes around five seconds -- the merchant receives a
credit card authorization number, and the Authorize.Net server stores the credit card
transaction. Credit card transactions are automatically settled each day and funded within
2-3 days. Merchants can also check the status of credit card transactions, automatically
bill customers for recurring charges, or run a variety of reports right from the
Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal.
It's no surprise that Authorize.Net is the world's leading Internet-based Credit card
payment authorization and credit card transaction processing solution. Thousands of
companies are currently using Authorize.Net to authorize, capture, and manage their credit
card transactions.
