Setup Credit Card Charge in ADMIN Side - a CC terminal in my admin ?

Hi, Hope someone has an answer to this problem.

I have had Zencart set up for a couple of months now which is working fine for the Web Site Shop.

My question is: I am opening a Shop in town (Retail) I don't want to go to the bother of getting an eftpos machine when I have the tools online. ie: ZENCART.

What I want to do is somehow setup a page or module ? within ADMIN as I am running a secure SSL site so that I can enter customers details and credit card details, click a submit button and "voila" it sends it to my third party gateway which is (eway). Returns "Approved" or "Declined" etc then either stores the transactions or lets me print them out giving the client a receipt.

Sounds a little long winded I know but basically I just want to use it like an eftpos machine in the Admin side.

Is this possibe.

Regards,

Zen Cart is not a virtual terminal for your merchant account.
If you need to process a card manually, you need to use the Virtual Terminal provided to you by your merchant account company instead.
