Credit Card - Mail Order and Telephone Order

This payment method which is also known as CCARD-MOTO, standing for credit card payments based on a Mail Order or Telephone Order, is intended for back office transactions and is suited for any system that is capable of storing orders, such as ERP systems and call center applications.

In general, when using this payment method, consumers have two options to order services or items:

1. Per mail, fax or letter: Consumer forwards the order and the payment method details to you in written form.
2. Per telephone: Consumer calls e.g. your service center to place the order and communicates the payment method details by telephone.

Consumers may purchase services or items without having to disclose their credit card details via the web browser, e.g. when visiting an online shop from a publicly accessible computer in an internet café.

When your service center staff has access to an ERP system, they may verify whether the products which are ordered via phone or fax are available while at the same time checking the validity of the consumer's credit card data.

When using this payment method, the following information is very important:

• This payment method is to be used in your back office only and any sensible credit card details must only be accessible for entitled persons such as the service center staff which in turn must have received a special security training for handling such sensitive consumer and payment data.

• Consumers must never disclose their 3-D Secure code to the service center staff when placing mail or telephone orders. CCARD-MOTO must never be offered to your consumers since this would circumvent 3-D Secure processing. Thus, issuers forcing card holders to use “3-D Secure only” may decline such transactions.

• To use this payment method, your merchant configuration has to be changed by our support teams on your behalf.

• Apart from having this payment method enabled by our support teams, your acquirers might require you to meet additional and special conditions to fulfill PCI security standards in their acceptance contracts.

• The entry of the CVC might be optional depending on your acquirer and the concluded acceptance contract.

Wirecard offers three solutions to handle credit card transactions based on mail and telephone orders:

Generally you need to ensure that this payment method is only available to your service center staff and is not accessible to consumers.
