AUTHORIZE.NET VIRTUAL
TERMINAL
The Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal enables
businesses with an Authorize.Net account to authorize, process, and manage
credit card transactions from any computer with an Internet connection and
a Web browser. Virtual Terminal replaces standard authorization terminals
or software and provides the best solution for merchants who manually
enter credit card transactions for mail or phone order sales.
Virtual Terminal is the ideal 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 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, merchants can access the complete
range of Authorize.Net services. This includes authorizations for
purchases, credits and returns, status and activity reports, and much
more.
To authorize credit card transactions, the
merchant simply completes an electronic form that provides the
Authorize.Net system with the information it needs to complete the
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 authorization network
to the appropriate card issuer's bank over a secure, proprietary
connection. When the process is complete -- this takes around five seconds
-- the merchant receives an authorization number, and the Authorize.Net
server stores the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each
day and funded within 2-3 days.
Merchants can also check the status of
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 payment authorization and transaction
processing solution. Thousands of companies are currently using
Authorize.Net to authorize, capture, and manage their credit card
transactions.
