key.If your business receives orders by Internet, mail or telephone, you can still process credit card (and some chip debit card) transactions by enabling the Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) feature, as well as a manual card entry password and the manual card entry feature. This allows you to process transactions without the cardholder and their card being present in your place of business. Use the iWL255 terminal to process credit card transactions when the cardholder is not present i.e. taking orders over the telephone or via mail order.
The key difference between regular transactions and MOTO transactions is that the cardholder and their card are not normally present. This means that:
MOTO transactions are performed by keying in the card number and the expiry date. The card cannot be swiped or inserted. If the card is swiped or inserted, the terminal will perform a regular credit (or debit) transaction, not a MOTO transaction.
A manual card entry password will be required when keying in the card number and expiry date.
"CARD NOT PRESENT" must be selected (as opposed to "CARD PRESENT") during the transaction.
The cardholder signature is not required.
Receipts do not need to be printed; however, Moneris recommends printing the Merchant copy and retaining it for your records.
To process MOTO transactions, you must configure your terminal to prompt for MOTO selection.
