Capture Card Over The Phone

If, while talking to the customer (whether on the phone, in a chat or an email), you need to collect their card details, you should use the Card Over The Phone Service.

How it works

Upon request, PCI Booking will send either an email or a text message (SMS) to the client. This message will contain a link to the card capture form.
Once the client has finished entering the card details, the card will be stored in PCI Booking and a token will be generated which will be sent to the customer who requested the form be sent.
