Card Not Present & Card Number Keyed by Merchant - A mail and phone order business is rarely face-to-face with the cardholder. As a result, there are a few extra steps that must be taken to protect the merchant and the cardholder from potential misuse. In such an environment the cardholder provides the card number over the phone or through the mail and the merchant keys in the card information.

Mail Order Businesses - A traditional mail order business accepts credit card orders through the mail. This pertains to catalog shopping, mailing advertisements, annual renewals of memberships, etc. The merchant is required to enter the credit card information into a credit card terminal or online software for authorization.

Telephone Order Businesses - A traditional telephone order business accepts credit card orders over the phone. This applies to businesses like florists, takeout/pizza eateries, ticket sales, etc. The merchant is required to enter the credit card information into a credit card terminal or online software for authorization.
