๐Ÿ’ณ Manual Card Payments (MOTO / Cardholder Not Present)

Sometimes you may need to take a card payment manually by entering the customer's card details. This is typically used when taking a payment over the phone.

This type of payment may be referred to as:

  • Cardholder Not Present (CNP)
  • MOTO
  • Mail Order
  • Telephone Order

Please note: Manual card payments are dependent on your payment application and Acquirer supporting this feature. The options available may vary depending on your payment terminal.
