I already have a retail terminal. Why cant I just take credit card information from my website and process it offline?
Visa has very strict guidelines regarding the processing of credit cards. Processing your store’s credit card orders offline violates the terms of most retail merchant account agreements, and does not comply with PCI card security guidelines. Additionally, transactions manually keyed into your terminal are usually processed at a higher rate than swiped or online transactions.
