Paypal virtual terminal

[kitcorsa]

Just wondering if anyone here uses this. I have had a letter frm one of my suppliers and im not alloweded to sell these product direct online, how ever im allowed to sell these over the phone and advertise them online on my site.

I have switched all these products to call for price, but that leave me with the problem i dont have the facility to take payments over the phone.

Paypal vertial terminal seems to allow me to do this, my question is, i already have my paypal merchant account, but will there be any additional charges?? also after i have taken payment is there a way to create a new order within zen so my books (zencart) and my paypal account are the same. just for easy of the accountant.

I found this in my PalPay account under the Merchant Tab, just look at it and it will tell you all you need to know. Now, thgis is for US based businesses I think but it is best to find out for sure.

Hope this helps,
