Fraud prevention
Our virtual payment terminal is secure and GDPR compliant. Customer details aren’t recorded on paper but are added directly into the system for processing. Once a payment has been made, a Blink Payment unique reference is generated so that future transactions made by the same card can be re-run or set a schedule without the customer having to give their details again.
Unlock new opportunities
A virtual payment terminal empowers businesses to process card payments over the phone, capturing sales that might otherwise be lost due to a lack of in-person payment options. For businesses relying on remote customer interactions, this tool ensures a seamless payment experience, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. Whether it’s a last-minute booking or a customer unable to access online payment options, a virtual terminal will bridge the gap and keep sales flowing smoothly.
Streamline operations with data insights
Using a virtual terminal goes beyond facilitating card payments over the phone; it also provides access to valuable transaction data. Businesses can analyse payment trends, identify peak sales periods, and better understand customer behaviour. These insights can drive smarter decision-making, helping you refine your strategies and improve operational efficiency. By integrating virtual terminals with reporting tools, you’ll gain a clearer view of your cash flow and revenue streams.
Adapt to changing customer needs
As consumer preferences shift toward convenience and flexibility, offering card payments over the phone through a virtual terminal positions your business as customer-focused and forward-thinking. This payment solution is particularly valuable in catering to customers who prefer direct assistance during transactions or those who face challenges with online payment systems. By adapting to diverse customer needs, your business not only retains more sales but also fosters stronger relationships and enhances its reputation for outstanding service.
