You will use your Internet browser to go to a secure, online order form page called Virtual Terminal. This is like any regular form that you fill out, but online.
You type your customer's payment information into the fields on the form. The form is simply an easy way for you to give us the information we need to process your order.
After typing your customer's payment information into the fields on the form, you click 'Submit', and the order information enters CyberSource's system.
CyberSource sends a request to your payment processor to approve the order.
Your payment processor then notifies your issuing bank, who approves the order and sends the approval back to your payment processor.
Within seconds, you know whether the order has been approved. Approved orders are paid into your bank account within a few days.
The Virtual Terminal is part of our Web-based CyberSource Business Center, a central place to search, review, and manage your orders and review reports. You can use the Virtual Terminal alone to manually enter all of your orders, or use it in conjunction with one of our more automated communication options.
