The One-Time Payment form guides you through the steps of entering appropriate
information about the order to be processed. If the transaction is not initiated by the
cardholder, you must identify the transaction as merchant-initiated and provide the reason for
the new transaction. The fields displayed for each transaction depend on both the transaction
method (card present, card not present, or echeck) and the settings applied for your account
(determined by the services you use and/or reseller requirements):
- Order Details:provide the type and amount of the transaction.
- Additional Fields:enter additional information about the merchant and/or Level II fields that you capture.
- Customer Information:provide both billing and shipping information for the order.
- Review and Pay:review all entries, provide payment information, and submit the transaction.

Sequential and Entire Form Views
Sequential and Entire Form Views
Based on the kind of transaction you are performing, the One-Time Payment
form may either display entry steps sequentially or the complete form in one view. The view
is controlled by your Virtual Terminal settings; contact customer support for
assistance.
If you enter orders using the sequential view, you can move between steps
using the actions at the bottom of each page. As you progress through order entry, the step
indicators visually change to let you know where you are in the process.
Use the links at the bottom of each tab to progress to the next step, or to return to the
previous step in the order process.
