Ecommerce Gateways, Online Gateways & Virtual Terminals:

Are you looking for a solution that will enable your customers to pay for their purchases on your website and allow you to access your merchant account online?  Do you need a gateway that offers you a method to hand key your transactions, send invoices, set up recurring billing and view your transaction history and reports online?

Do you need an ‘Ecommerce Gateway,’ ‘Virtual Terminal or ‘Online Gateway’?

‘Virtual Terminal’ and ‘Online Gateway’ really mean the same thing, they are synonyms and can be used interchangeably.  However, there is one major difference between an online gateway and an ecommerce gateway. Ecommerce Gateways enable you to connect your website to your credit card processing merchant account so your customers can pay automatically on your website.  Whereas online gateways and virtual terminals do not connect to your website. An online gateway or virtual terminal simply allows you to personally and securely access your merchant account thru a website where you can key in transactions, send invoices and set up recurring billing and view reports.

Our Ecommerce Gateway, Authorize.net, will connect to your website either directly or via a shopping cart; however, it also works as a virtual terminal where you can key in transactions by accessing your account at http://www.Authorize.net.

Choose our Online Gateway PayAnywhere Inside if you simply want to set up recurring billing and online / email invoicing and do not need to enable Ecommerce on thru your website because it will cost you less than Authorize.net used as an online gateway.
