Virtual Terminal is a tool for manually processing transactions. This allows organizations to process transactions right within the Click & Pledge CONNECT.
For example, when a Patron calls your organization on the phone to make a donation, or when your organization receives cash and check donations. When you process using the CONNECT Virtual Terminal, the CONNECT platform will automatically update the fundraising statistics displayed for the relevant Campaign.
