How does the virtual terminal work?

The virtual terminal is a secure online portal where you can enter order details you've taken over the phone, or send a request to your customer (we call this pay by link). Taking payments with virtual terminal is really easy, but whenever you're taking payments where your customer isn't present, there's extra risk of fraud involved. That's why it's really important to stay aware when you're taking payments this way and make sure you verify that your customer is who they say they are.
