Secure High Risk Virtual Terminal Solutions
Adaptiv provides a robust high-risk virtual terminal solution that enables businesses to securely process payments from any location using just an internet-connected device. This versatile tool allows merchants to accept card-not-present transactions, such as phone or mail orders, with ease and reliability.
What is a High-Risk Virtual Terminal?
Understanding High-Risk Businesses
High-risk businesses operate in industries where regulatory oversight, chargeback rates and product legality can introduce extra problems for traditional payment processors. These can often include travel services, nutraceutical, multi-level marketing, and CBD brands, gaming platforms or subscription-based models with recurring billing. These types of merchants can face higher amounts of fraud, stricter compliance from regulatory bodies and the possibility of account holds and freezes. Understanding these challenges is the first step toward finding a payment partner that knows how to navigate high-risk industries. By offering specialized underwriting, robust fraud screening and dedicated support Adaptiv Payments can handle almost all high-risk businesses. We recognize both the opportunities and the complexities inherent in high-risk verticals and can make informed choices that allow your business to thrive.
How Does a Virtual Terminal Work?
In short, a virtual terminal operates as a secure, web-based payment gateway that lets merchants accept credit and debit card transactions without any specialized in-person hardware. When a customer provides their payment details over the phone or through an order form, your team can simply log into the Adaptiv Payments Terminal portal and take a payment. All you need is an internet connection and a customer's credit card information! We have an industry leading process for accomplishing this:
- Secure login: authenticate with your unique credentials to access the merchant dashboard
- Payment entry: key in the card number, expiration date and transaction amount
- Transaction type selection: choose whether it's a sale, refund or pre-authorization
- Authorization request: submit the payment data to Adaptiv's processor for approval
- Confirmation and settlement: note the approval code (a numeric indicator of success) and capture funds in your next settlement batch
This method makes processing payments from any internet-connected device a breeze. Our advanced tooling removes the need for in-person point-of-sale terminals and guarantees high-risk transactions are handled reliably. Combined with Adaptiv's built-in fraud screening and 24/7 support, you gain flexibility and peace of mind while running your business.

Low-Risk Vs. High Risk Virtual Terminal
When it comes to high-risk virtual terminals, the one-size-fits-all approach that many traditional merchant providers use falls short for high-chargeback industries. Low-risk solutions can cover basic payment entry and standard fraud checks but often are often limited by slow approvals and strict volume limits. In contrast to this, Adaptiv Payments' high-risk virtual terminal combines quick onboarding, customized risk rules, higher transaction caps, and 24/7 expert industry support to keep your business thriving.
