    Question Virtual Terminal Merchant Account?

    I was wondering what is the difference between a Virtual Terminal Merchant Account and an Online Merchant Account?

    Are they both the same?

    As far as I know, the distinguishing factor is that the Virtual Terminal allows you to manually key in credit card numbers for transactions (e.g. telephone-based orders that come in), while I believe that the simple online merchant account would not include this feature.

    Any comments or corrections from others?

    I personally like Authorize.net, and I know that they support transactions from the Middle East.

    MOTO merchants are seen as much higher risk in many cases so that pushes up the rates.
