Virtual Terminal

Virtual Terminal for Card-Not-Present Payments

Key in a payment from any browser. Midcove's virtual terminal payment processing screen gives your team a fast, secure way to run MOTO and phone-order transactions on the MID you already have.

Why a virtual terminal

No card reader. No new hardware. Just a screen.

Not every sale happens at a checkout page. When a customer calls in, mails an order, or needs a subscription updated, your team needs a fast way to key in a card by hand — securely, and without leaving your existing gateway.

  • Built for MOTO and phone-order payments, plus invoice and subscription updates.
  • AVS and CVV verification run on every keyed transaction.
  • Runs on your boarded MID — NMI, Authorize.Net, Stripe, or PayPal.
  • No physical terminal or card reader required — works from any browser.

Built for call centers and back offices

  • Agents key card details while a customer is on the phone.

FAQ

Virtual terminal questions

What is a virtual terminal?

A virtual terminal is a secure web screen that lets your staff key in a customer's card details manually, without a physical card reader. It's built for phone orders, mail orders, and other card-not-present payments.

Can I use it for phone orders?

Yes. The virtual terminal is designed for MOTO (mail order/telephone order) use cases, so agents can enter card details while on a call and process the sale in seconds.

Does it work with my gateway?

Midcove's virtual terminal works with the MID you already have boarded through NMI, Authorize.Net, Stripe, or PayPal. There's no need to open a new merchant account.

Is it PCI compliant?

Yes. The virtual terminal runs over an encrypted connection and never stores raw card data outside your gateway's PCI DSS aligned environment.
