The FastCharge Virtual Terminal
is a secure, browser-based interface that enables
businesses to authorize, process and manage credit
card transactions from any computer that has an
Internet connection and a Web browser. Virtual
Terminal replaces standard authorization terminals
or software, and provides the best solution for
merchants who manually enter credit card transactions
for mail or phone order sales.
Virtual Terminal suits businesses of all sizes
because it reduces the complexity and expense
normally associated with authorizing and processing
credit card transactions. It's also much faster
than standard dial-up authorization systems.
Businesses with an FastCharge account may access
the Virtual Terminal through the FastCharge Web
site using any Web browser. After logging into
their FastCharge account using a unique user ID
and a password, merchants can access the complete
range of FastCharge services -- authorizations
for purchases, credits and returns, status and
activity reports, and much more.
To authorize credit card transactions, the merchant
must complete an electronic form that provides
the FastCharge system with the information it
needs to complete the transaction. This information
is encrypted using the latest 40 or 128-bit Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 technology and is sent
to an FastCharge host server. The server then
sends the data through the authorization network
to the appropriate card issuer's bank using a
secure, proprietary connection. When the process
is complete -- this usually takes around three
seconds -- the merchant receives an authorization
number, and the FastCharge server stores the transaction.
Transactions are automatically settled each day
and are typically funded within two to three business
days.
Merchants can also check the status of transactions
and run a variety of reports right from the FastCharge
Merchant Interface.
