Overview

The PayPal Virtual Terminal service allows merchants with a PayPal business account to process credit cards using a web browser.

This page is a seed article. You can help HTYP water it: make a request to expand a given page and/or donate to help give us more writing-hours!

One minor disadvantage of this service over other credit card processing services is that you can only post refunds within 60 days of the original transaction; there is no facility to post credit to an arbitrary credit card. However, this should be a very rare necessity, and you can always transfer money to a checking account and refund the money by check. If the customer has a PayPal account, you can also send money that way.
