Can Square virtual terminal be integrated to process online purchases through a website?

@SecondSource ;

May I ask how the information from the credit card would be entered into the terminal?

Why not just use Square Website to process the payment?

Also you could use a Square Payment API that is coded into a website to process payments.

The reason for the virtual terminal to take a credit card payment, is it is easier to type information on a keyboard as compared to typing on a digital device like a tablet or cell phone.  

Here is more about Square Payments API : https://developer.squareup.com/docs/payments-overview

Thanks for your response.  Am closing a retail store so no longer going to use in-store POS but will be charging for remote services using the Square reader and see that as a backup can enter transactions online if the reader is unavailable.  Wanted to list products online through a website and was wondering (if and how) Square can process the payments online.
