Do You Accept Credit Cards In-Person?

In-person transactions include tap, dip, or swipe at a physical terminal. These carry the lowest interchange rates because the card is verified on the spot.

YesNo

Do You Manually Key-In Credit Card Information?

Keyed-in transactions happen when you type a customer's card number into a terminal or virtual terminal. These are classified as card-not-present and carry the same higher interchange rates as online transactions.

YesNo

Do Your Customers Pay You Online?

Online transactions include e-commerce payments, invoices paid via a payment link, or virtual terminal charges. Like keyed-in sales, these are card-not-present transactions with higher interchange rates.
