Card-Present Transactions
A card-present transaction occurs when the payment card is present at the your physical
place of business. You can accept card-present payments at a point-of-sale (POS) payment
terminal or on a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) device.
These are the basic types of card-present transactions:
- EMV transactions. The EMV transaction type is named after the three companies that developed the technology standard: Europay, Mastercard, and Visa.
- Magnetic stripe transactions
- Hand-keyed transactions
Card-present transactions have risk control requirements. For more information, see Card-Present Risk Control Requirements.
