This feature gives merchants that have a credit card terminal the ability to process their payments using those terminals, without having to have access to a payment gateway. 

 

Security Precautions

 

Using this feature is not recommended. We have provided it because so many customer's asked us for it. Security is a big concern when purchasing on the Internet, and the best way to secure transactions is via the use of SSL and a Payment Gateway. Should you decide to use this feature, it is highly recommended that you change your Transpose Number often, as well as your admin account's username and password.

 

 

How it Works

 

1. Customer Enters Credit Card info at Checkout

 

2. Squirrelcart adds the merchant's unique transpose number to the credit card number

 

3. Squirrelcart includes this new number in the order email sent to the merchant

 

4. Merchant subtracts transpose number to derive the actual credit card number

 

5. Merchant processes transaction offline using credit card terminal
