When you need to process a credit card without having the card present to swipe, there is an option to manually enter in the card number.

At the POS, total a sales transaction and for the Payment Option, select Credit or EPay, set the amount being tendered to the credit card, and click the Enter button on the number pad. In the Slide Card Now window there is a Manual Entry button. Clicking this will open a window to step the user through entering the card information.

Card #: This is the 15 to 16 digit card number found on the front of each credit card. Use the number buttons to enter the full card number without spaces or dashes. Notice the number entered will display to the left in the format found on the card with the card type identified (M/C, AMEX, Visa). Click the Next button to accept the entry. This is a required field.

Card Expiration: The expiration is entered with a two-digit month and two-digit year (1011 represents October 2011). This will display as 10/11 to the left. This is the last required field. You may continue to add more information or finish the sale by clicking the Authorize button, otherwise, click Next to continue.

CVV Code: The CVV code is typically found on the back of the card as a three digit number or for AMEX, on the front as a four digit number. Enter the code which will display to the left. Click the Next button to enter more information or Authorize to finish the sale.

Zip Code: A five digit number that must match the billing zip code for the credit card.

Address #: If used, it must match the billing address for the credit card.

Click the Authorize button to finish the sale. If approved, the response will show and print the receipt. If the authorization failed, the card data may have been entered incorrectly. Use the Cancel button to select another tender or to re-try processing the card manually.
