Hi @rhalverson, when we receive an order via phone or in the mail, we manually enter the provided credit card number into Square Register.  The steps are:

  1. Open Square Register app on your device
  2. Create a sale by adding items or using the keypad (this is the same as when the customer is present with their card)
  3. Select "Charge"
  4. Select "Credit Card"
  5. Enter the credit card information (instead of swiping a card)

You'll find more details in these Square Support articles:

Can a customer pay over the phone by giving me their card number, so I can put the card number in my square reader manually?

Yes, you can.  It should show up as an option when you hit charge and the payment type should have manually enter card.  But remember your processing fee to do this is way more

When you go into square, click on Virtual Terminal.

You can take a card# put in the amount (make sure you look at the sales tax- it automatically adds it, if you don't use that or like me have it already added in, make sure to uncheck the tax box).
