Applying For Virtual Terminal
PayPal’s Virtual Terminal provides your business with the same functionality as a stand-alone
credit card-processing terminal. With a computer and an internet connection, you can use
Virtual Terminal to accept phone, fax, mail, and in-person orders for all major credit cards.
You can use Virtual Terminal on any computer with an internet connection and a web browser.
For best performance, use Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 7.0, or FireFox 1.0.
NOTE: Virtual Terminal supports payments only in US dollars (USD) at this time.
PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy does not apply to transactions processed using Virtual
Terminal.
