While I am always excited to share our new announcements, this week's announcement is particularly exciting for me! I’m thrilled to share the Square’s newest feature - Virtual Terminal.
One of our longest running requests from Square sellers is the ability to process credit cards right from the Square Dashboard. We got one step closer with Square Invoices, but we weren’t going to stop there! We kept building and I’m happy to share the hard work of our the whole Square team, let’s jump in!
To process your first payment through your virtual terminal:
- Log onto your Square Dashboard and select Virtual Terminal.
- Click Take a Payment.
- Enter in the payment information and click Charge.
- Watch your payment process! To return to your Square Dashboard or process another payment select New Sale.
Typing a card into your Virtual Terminal is considered a manual transaction just like typing a number into your Square Point of Sale so the fee will be the same 3.5% + 15¢.
Your Virtual Terminal processes credit card the same way as your Square Point of Sale so you won’t have to worry about any deposit delays or additional PCI compliance.
That’s it! We hope this change eliminates one more speedbump and helps keep your business running no matter where you are!
