Payments over the phone are also known as MO/TO or Virtual terminal. MO/TO stands for Mail Order/Telephone Order. It is a type of card-not-present payment which means that a customer may phone/email the merchant, place an order and pay by providing the payment card details over the phone or by email.
You can apply for Virtual terminal by login to:
• myPOS account, navigate to the POS Devices menu and select MO/TO Virtual Terminal, or
• myPOS App (for iOS or Android), navigate to MO/TO Virtual Terminal.
Because of the way card details are sent, MO/TO transactions are considered high-risk transactions. According to the Card Schemes Regulations the merchant is responsible for the outcome of received disputes.
Each request for Virtual terminal is being reviewed individually and additional information may be requested. A team of experts will review whether your request is eligible for the service. You will be notified of the outcome in the next few days. If approved, you will be able to accept MO/TO transactions via your myPOS account, myPOS mobile app (iOS and Android) and all your myPOS devices.
