Regardless of the market you’re serving, providing as much payment flexibility as possible is one of the most critical components of acquiring and retaining a solid customer base. If a prospective buyer can’t complete the sale where and how they want to, they’ll likely move on to a competitor who can accommodate them.

Mail, phone, and fax orders continue to comprise a large portion of what are often referred to as “card not present” transactions. Whether your customers are shopping from a catalog, a television shopping channel, or website, they should have the option of calling in or mailing their order along with details of their selected payment method. Credit cards and debit cards are used for a majority of these orders.

At Elite Payment Processing, we offer multiple options for processing “card not present” transactions. This means the buyer is not present at the time of the sale in order to physically hand you their credit card. One option is you can utilize a credit card terminal and have a representative manually key in the credit card numbers or utilize a virtual web-based terminal, such as Authorize.Net and USA e Pay. Either way, Elite can provide you with the necessary equipment and services you’ll need to ensure a seamless integration and reliable performance. If you already have terminals or a POS solution in place, contact us to find out how we can re-program your system for no additional fee.
