Frequently Asked Questions!

What is a virtual terminal, and how does it work?
A virtual terminal is a web-based payments gateway option that enables businesses to process credit card and other electronic payments by phone, computer, or tablet. It essentially simulates a physical terminal, allowing users to log in and manually enter payment details (such as card number, expiration date, and CVV) into a secure online form.
What types of businesses use a virtual terminal?
A wide range of businesses utilize virtual terminals, particularly those that process remote payments or do not use a physical card card reader. This includes e-commerce businesses, service-based businesses, mobile businesses, and those accepting payments via phone or mail.
What is the difference between a virtual terminal and a payment gateway?
A payment gateway processes online payments once customers enter their own credit or debit card information. A virtual terminal is a web-based interface where business personnel manually enter payment details on behalf of customers.
Do I need a card reader or a physical terminal to use a virtual terminal?
No, you do not need a card reader or a physical terminal to use a virtual terminal. You can process payments by manually entering card information into a web-based interface.
Can I store customer card details for repeat transactions?
Yes, Sherpa Pay’s virtual terminal allows you to securely store customer profiles and card details for repeat, recurring, and subscription payments.
How quickly will I receive funds from virtual terminal transactions?
With Sherpa Pay, funds from virtual terminal transactions are deposited directly into your bank account the next business day, without any unnecessary delays or reserves on your funds.
Can I send invoices and accept payments online?
Yes, Sherpa Pay’s online invoice feature allows you to send invoices with built-in payment links via email and accept payment online. Even if you don’t have a website, online invoicing lets you get paid quickly and efficiently.
Can I accept in-person payments if needed?
Yes, you can accept in-person payments by connecting a PIN pad to your virtual terminal. This allows you to process debit and credit card transactions directly at your counter or on the go.
