Virtual Terminal

EBMS contains a tool that allows a user to use an online software solution to collect credit card information rather than a piece or hardware such as the Verifone Payment Device. The benefits of this tool is that it does not require additional hardware but the virtual terminal does not process debit cards or capture a signature. The configuration requires the user to setup a HPP merchant account and configure EBMS to link to the online payment process.  

Configuring the HPP account

The virtual terminal requires a Verifone Hosted Payment Page (HPP) gateway account similar to an EBMS ecommerce account. Contact your EBMS representative to set up a HPP account.  The following steps are for US based merchant accounts only.  Review Velox Integration for information on Canadian options.
