Mail Order/Telephone Order Payment Options

Instabill provides a variety of MOTO payment processing options to businesses operating in a wide range of industries. With one of our merchant accounts, you can accept payments from Visa, MasterCard, and more popular credit card brands. You will also be able to accept virtual terminal transactions in multiple currencies, including USD, GBP, and euros.

Website Requirements

Although you wish to accept transactions through MOTO virtual terminal credit card processing, Visa and MasterCard still require MOTO businesses to operating a functioning website. However, do not think of this as a burden or a setback.

Having a web presence will give you the opportunity to accept credit card transactions online and give your customers more payment options. Talk with an Instabill merchant account manager today to learn about the website requirements for MOTO businesses.

Payment Gateway Information

When you obtain a MOTO merchant account terminal with Instabill, it will be paired with the secure payment gateway of the acquiring banking partner that we choose for your business. This will ensure that your transaction data and your customers’ financial information stays secure from things like data breaches and credit card fraud.

Virtual Terminal Use

The Instabill virtual terminal is the perfect tool for MOTO merchants. Employees have the ability to enter customer payments by hand, and submit them to the payment gateway for processing. No software is needed to run the virtual terminal—it is a web-based application, so all you need is an internet connection.

A virtual terminal, however, comes with caveats:

Acquiring banks generally frown upon virtual terminal use for international transactions due to the risk level. Virtual terminals are very popular among nefarious merchants who commit transaction laundering, the act of advertising the sales of a legitimate product or service as cover for sales of illegal and illicit products and services.

Merchants requesting a virtual terminal should be prepared to present the necessary KYC documents to their payment processor and/or acquiring bank, such as:

• 3-6 months of payment processing history
• Business bank statements
• Photo identification
• Functional website
• Marketing materials (mailings, fliers or other promotional materials)
