Description

Flute is a flexible payment processing platform built for growing businesses, software companies, associations, and payment partners that need multiple ways to accept and manage money. Businesses can accept payments in person, online, over the phone, through mobile devices, or through embedded payment experiences within their own software. Supported capabilities include card processing, tap-to-pay, QR payments, ACH, virtual terminals, hosted payment pages, invoicing, recurring billing, and digital wallet payments. Flute offers portable and mounted payment terminals while also allowing businesses to use compatible existing devices and mobile phones. Its management tools provide centralized dashboards, reporting, merchant onboarding, customer management, and workflow automation across payment operations. Recurring billing and secure tokenized payment storage support subscription businesses and companies that process repeat purchases. Instant payout capabilities give eligible merchants faster access to funds from daily card sales, while additional working capital tools can support business growth. Security features include encrypted payment data, fraud prevention, network tokenization, and protection against risks such as card testing and chargeback abuse. Flute also offers APIs, SDKs, developer documentation, and embedded payment infrastructure for SaaS platforms, ISOs, associations, and other partners that want to integrate payments into their products or portfolios.

Description

PayPal Virtual Terminal is an online payment processing tool that enables businesses to manually accept credit and debit card payments directly through a web browser. The platform is ideal for merchants that handle phone orders, invoices, custom services, wholesale transactions, or situations where customers are not physically present. Businesses can process payments without investing in expensive point-of-sale hardware, software installations, or complicated technical integrations. By logging into a PayPal Business account, users can quickly access the Virtual Terminal interface, enter customer payment details, and complete transactions securely. The optional Quick Order form helps streamline the checkout process by allowing businesses to save customer contact and shipping information for faster order entry. After processing a payment, merchants can immediately email receipts, print packing slips, and generate PayPal Shipping labels from the same platform. Approved payments are usually deposited into the account within minutes, allowing businesses to maintain better control over cash flow and daily operations. The system also includes detailed reporting tools that automatically organize Virtual Terminal activity alongside other PayPal transactions for simplified accounting and tracking. Businesses benefit from straightforward pricing with a fixed transaction fee structure and no recurring monthly subscription charges. Since the service works entirely through a browser, merchants can access the platform from virtually anywhere with an internet connection. PayPal Virtual Terminal gives businesses a convenient and professional way to handle manual payment processing while supporting flexible customer payment experiences.
