Store and Forward Terminal
Options
Store and Forward Terminals allow you to electronically swipe the customer's credit card
right at the show. The terminal will "store" the card information but will not dial out for a real-time authorization
since they are not wireless and there is no phone connection at the time of sale. Once a phone line is available, you simply
"forward" or "upload" the stored transactions and the terminal will then dial out for authorization on
all of those stored transactions at the same time (at the end of the day or upon return to your studio after a show.)
Tip: Any declines will be indicated when the transactions are uploaded. Please make sure
to get a phone number and address when using these terminals for Store and Forward.

Elavon's
"Virtual Terminal" is an easy, economical, hosted software solution that lets you use any PC with
an Internet connection to process credit cards. For retail sales, adding a "Mini-wedge" would allow you to swipe
the card right on the spot. Otherwise, you could enter the card number separately after the sale via Elavon or Authorize.net
software. One great benefit is that you'll never have to upgrade the software because enhancements are received automatically.

The Good, Old Fashioned "Knuckle-Buster"
|
|
| Manual Imprinter |
|
If you "knuckle-bust" at shows using a manual imprinter, please make sure that the full number and the expiration
date is clear. You should also get an address (where card is billed), a phone number, and the 3-digit security code on
back of the card. If possible, a cell number and email address would be good to have as well. This knuckle-bust form may be helpful.
