manual invoicing

[thejewelrylady]

i want to sell product at a vendor show where people usually want to use their credit cards.

i'm trying to figure out if i can print out a manual invoice for them to fill in their credit card information,

then i can input their info into paypal to get paid.

i realize that this may not be possible b/c paypal can't know whether or not i've stolen the credit card, but thought i'd

ask if anyone has figured out how to manually invoice like this through paypay.

With Website Payments Standard, you cannot input their credit card information.

You have two options if "you" plan to accept/input a customer's credit card information.

The first is Virtual Terminal.  You can learn more about this product here.  You can apply for this product separately or get it bundled with Website Payments Pro.

Next, Website Payments Pro.

* Website Payments PRO costs $30/month plus transaction fees.
You need a business account and you interact with the PayPal engine via API calls. Pro is designed for your customer to have the option to pay with credit card and stay on your site. The customer completes the transaction on your site, they are not redirected to PayPal to complete the payment. This method gives you control over the customer experience and you are responsible for storing the customer's credit card information. Note, you will also be required to meet current Payment Card Industry or PCI compliance standards. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are network security and business practice guidelines adopted by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, and JCB to establish a "minimum security standard" to protect customer’s payment card information. This is a requirement for all merchants that store, transmit, or process payment card information. Pro is currently only available to US, UK and Canadian Accounts.
