Manually take card payment

I am trying to take a credit card payment over the phone, it doesn’t give me the option to manually insert the card. How do I set that up?

Hi @Marius - You can find the steps to do this on both your app and through Virtual Terminal at Manually Enter Card Payments Without The Square Reader.

Hope that helps clarify things for you!
