Key in credit cards from any browser — for phone orders, mail-in payments, B2B invoicing, and backup when your hardware isn't the right fit. Tampa Bay Pay offers five virtual terminal options — we match you to the one that fits your business.
A virtual terminal is a secure web interface where you manually key in a customer's card details and charge the sale — no physical terminal, no app, no swipe hardware required. Virtual terminal functionality is standard at the payment gateway level, which means the gateway you choose is the virtual terminal you get.
Most providers lock you into a single gateway. Tampa Bay Pay doesn't. We work with five different payment gateways — each with its own virtual terminal — and we match you to the one that fits your business, your workflow, and your integrations.
Invoice clients, collect payment over the phone, and reconcile directly into QuickBooks when you pair it with our Hyfin integration.
Attorneys, accountants, consultants, and agencies taking card-not-present payments on retainers, installments, and scheduled billing.
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, pest control — bill after the work is done, no terminal in the truck required.
Store a card on file, charge between visits, collect copays and balances without the patient walking back into the office.
The classic MOTO use case — catalog orders, subscriptions, reservation deposits, and anything else that closes over the phone.
Your POS goes down, your internet drops, your Clover won't sync — you still take cards. A virtual terminal is the safety net.
Enter card details manually — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover.
Tokenize and store cards on file — charge repeat customers in two clicks.
Send a branded pay-link by email; customer clicks, pays, you're done.
Schedule automatic charges — weekly, monthly, or custom intervals.
Built-in fraud checks on every transaction to cut chargebacks.
Give your team role-based logins — track who ran which sale.
Filter by date, user, card type, status — export to CSV any time.
Same interface on your phone's browser — take a payment from anywhere.
Each of the five gateways we work with has its own virtual terminal with its own strengths — built-in QuickBooks sync, cash discounting, advanced fraud tools, API-first architecture, or the industry-standard interface your bookkeeper already knows. We'll recommend the right one based on how you actually run your business.
