Phone/Mail Order
Credit cards can be used for more than making payments during face-to-face transactions. Credit cards are also frequently used to make payments over the phone or through the mail.
Examples include consumer-to-business transactions, business-to-business transactions, and the use of government-issued cards to pay for goods and services. The Small Business Authority’s Phone/Mail Order services include access to all major credit cards, risk-management tools, and point-of-sale transactions.
If you accept business through the mail or over the phone, you will find that The Small Business Authority’s Virtual Terminal provides a convenient way of manually entering and processing credit card transactions. You will save money, because you don’t have to purchase or lease hardware or software—simply turn your computer into a credit card terminal. You will receive all of the extra antifraud features, such as address verification and real-time credit card verification.
