Card transactions by proxy

[Ben Liddicott]

Retailers who have a chip & pin machine can generally get 
cardholder-not-present privileges for a small extra fee, once they have 
established themselves (which generally involves building up a credit 
balance with the bank which is held in case of chargebacks).

This enables them to take orders via email or telephone.

Customers of WorldPay and presumably other e-payment services can get 
cardholder-not-present privileges using what is referred to as a "virtual 
terminal", i.e. a web page which performs the same function of the chip & 
pin machine in CNP mode, again at an extra fee.

Cheers,
Ben
