What
eTerminal IS
eTerminal is a credit card processing terminal. Much like a manual
credit card swiping machine, eTerminal takes the credit card information,
submits it to the bank for processing, and returns either a Authorization
number, or declines the transaction. eTerminal is much more powerful
than a basic credit card terminal though. It stores all of the customer
information for each authorized transaction in it's database permanently.
It allows you to perform Voids and Credits with a few button clicks,
without manually reentering the customer information. And it will
accept the transaction information for processing either directly
from you while logged into your eTerminal, or from a web page that
your customers can access and submit themselves. The latter method
is called "remote linking" because the credit card information and
total are submitted to eTerminal from a remote location, such as
a web page.
Remote Linking to eTerminal
There are many different methods for remote linking to eTerminal
from your website. The method you choose will depend on your needs,
your programming abilities, and the number and type of products
you have. As different as the available linking methods are however,
there is one thing they all have in common...only ONE total figure,
along with the customer's credit card information, can be submitted
to eTerminal for processing.

The simplest method of remote linking to eTerminal is to use the
HTML button code generator in your eTerminal control panel to
create the linking code. You then simply copy the code, and paste
it into your web page. Each button you create will be capable
of sending your web site customer to your eTerminal order form
with the Total and Description fields already filled in for them.
All they need to do is enter their name and credit card information.
