A business's payment environment determines the way in which a business accepts payments. Does the customer pay in-person? Over the phone? Online? OR a combination of the above? The way in which a merchant accepts cards affects the risk of the account, the rates, and determines which hardware and software solutions will best serve the merchant's payment needs.
Card-present – In a card-present environment, the transactions happen when the customer is physically there to make payment. The payment data is collected by a terminal, point-of-sale, or mobile card reader. Restaurants and retail are the most common card-present environments.
Card-not-present – Customers are not physically present for card-not-present transactions. Card-not-present includes eCommerce and online sales, payments taken over the phone and keyed into a software (MOTO mail order telephone order), recurring or automatic payments, and e-invoicing where a customer receives an electronic invoice with a payment link to enter their own credit card information. Card-not-present are higher risk accounts due to a greater risk for fraud. It is easier for fraudsters to steal card information than it is for them to steal a valid physical credit card.
