Payment Processing for Mail Order and Telephone Order Businesses

MOTO stands for mail order and telephone order. It describes any business that collects card payments without the customer physically present. This includes businesses that take orders by phone, process payments from mailed forms, or charge clients remotely based on a signed agreement. This type of processing carries different rules and risk considerations than in-person transactions, and it requires an account set up specifically for card-not-present use.

Who Needs MOTO Processing

What We Provide for MOTO Merchants

Virtual Terminal

Our virtual terminal lets you securely key in card details from any internet-connected device. There is no physical terminal required. Your staff enters the card number, expiration date, and security code through a secure web interface and processes the transaction directly. It is the most practical tool for phone-based payment collection.

Card-Not-Present Account Configuration

MOTO accounts need to be configured for card-not-present risk from the start. We make sure your merchant account is set up under the right MCC code with the correct processing rules so your transactions are handled properly and you are not flagged for unusual activity simply because your customers are not swiping in person.

Address Verification Service

AVS matches the billing address entered during a transaction against the address on file with the card-issuing bank. This is a standard fraud prevention tool for card-not-present transactions. We make sure AVS is enabled and functioning on your account.

Fraud Prevention Tools

Card-not-present transactions carry higher fraud risk than in-person sales because there is no chip or physical card verification. We configure your account with appropriate fraud screening tools, including CVV verification and velocity filters, to reduce unauthorized transaction attempts.

Recurring Billing

If you charge customers on a regular basis, our recurring billing setup automates that process. You store the card securely and the system charges it on the schedule you define. This works well for subscription products, service retainers, and installment billing.

Detailed Transaction Records

Our reporting gives you a record of every transaction, including the date, amount, card type, and authorization code. This is especially important for MOTO businesses where disputes can arise from customers who do not recognize a charge. Clear records help you respond to chargebacks with documentation.

Why MOTO Businesses Choose TransNet

Managing Chargebacks in MOTO

Card-not-present transactions have a higher chargeback rate than in-person transactions. That is a fact of the MOTO environment. We work with our MOTO merchants to reduce dispute frequency through proper transaction documentation, clear billing descriptors, and good customer communication practices. We also provide guidance when a chargeback does come in so you understand your options for responding.
