Not every business transaction can occur on a face to face basis. Perhaps your business is conducted mainly through mail order, or perhaps you customers and clients live out of state, or even out of country. When you can accept credit cards by phone, however, you don’t have to worry about any of that. Your business can keep on running smoothly and you never have to meet with your customers.

A MOTO (Mail Order/Telephone Order) account is perfect for a business that wants to accept credit cards by phone. If you conduct more than 50% of your business through mail order or over the telephone, then you should consider offering this payment option to your customers. Accepting credit cards by phone or mail order has never been easier or more secure.

The threat of identity theft is very real and very frightening for many of your customers, and the fraud protection offered by most credit cards can give your customers the confidence they need to make a purchase. When you process a mail order transaction or accept credit cards by phone, your hardware or software will prompt you for the cardholder’s billing information. This is one of the measures we use to help eliminate fraudulent purchases.

A MOTO merchant account is great for catering companies, florists, take-out restaurants, and any other businesses that do not have access to physically swipe a credit card through a terminal. These accounts are perfect for business owners who accept credit cards by phone and work out of their home, or companies that conduct international transactions.

We have several credit card machines, software packages, and virtual terminals that can be set up as a MOTO merchant account. If you’d like to discuss these options further, call us toll free at (866) 326-3480, or you can apply on line by clicking here.
