Granting Secondary Access to Virtual Terminal
By default, Virtual Terminal is set up so that a single user can process transactions. However,
you can provide multiple users (such as employees) with the ability to process transactions
using Virtual Terminal. To do this, add them to your account as secondary users and then grant
them permission to use Virtual Terminal through PayPal’s Multi-User Access feature.
Multi-User Access enables you to grant multiple secondary users various levels of access to a
single PayPal account. You can add up to 200 secondary users to your PayPal account.
NOTE: The account owner is the only user on the account that can change the secondary users’
access privileges.The secondary users do not have full access to all features of your
PayPal account, they only have access to the features you grant them access to.
