About PayPal Virtual Terminal
Get paid when sales are made by phone or mail. Use our virtual terminal to process credit card and debit card payments for offline sales. No website or POS system needed. When the order arrives by mail or phone, you can easily accept payment by credit or debit card. No coding is required, and you don’t need any extra software or equipment—just a web browser. Virtual Terminal activity is included in your PayPal reports.
Log in to your PayPal Business account from your web browser and open Virtual Terminal from your dashboard or the Business Tools page.
Use the optional Quick Order form to save time. Add the shipment or delivery address and other contact details as needed.
When the transaction is processed, you can send an email receipt, and print a pre-populated packing slip and a PayPal Shipping label.
Once approved, the money shows up in your account, usually within minutes. The transaction will be included in your Activity and other reports.
