31 Aug 2022 By PAYCEC
Virtual merchant accounts and card providers like Visa, Mastercard or American Express operate in close coordination. They support online merchants in connecting with a payment gateway so that payments can be processed. As a result, the consumer's electronic payment is used to execute all transactions with merchants.
Virtual terminals utilize non-physical software programs however function very similarly to a physical card terminal. Here is how it works:
- Step 1: Consumer browse on merchant’s website and choose items to place into cart
- Step 2: Customer visit cart and process checkout
- Step 3: The customer is redirected to a virtual payment gateway platform
- Step 4: Choose the payment method option and enter payment credentials & billing address
- Step 5: 3D secure Authentication requirement (OTP SMS or private key)

- Step 7: Merchant bank receives an order and proceeds data with tokenization and fraud check
- Step 8: Merchant bank transmits data to card network for further verification
- Step 9: Card network or clearing network sends data to issuing bank for processing fund to merchant bank
