Telephone payments
Take card payments over the phone.
Secure options for businesses that take card details remotely — for bookings, deposits, orders and account payments.
For payments where the customer is not present.
Plenty of UK businesses still take payment by phone: a restaurant securing a large booking, a hotel taking a deposit, a supplier settling an invoice, a salon confirming an appointment.
Because the card is not physically present, these payments are handled differently to a terminal transaction, and it is worth understanding how before you start taking them.
