Accept payments virtually, anywhere
Any Authorize.net merchant can use this service. Once you install Windows Authorize.net 2.0 app onto your PC,1 you'll just need a supported card reader to process credit card payments.
How to get started
Simply connect a card reader to your computer and log in to the Windows Authorize.net 2.0 app. For receipts, use your existing desktop printer or a retail receipt printer.
Authorize a credit card transaction in as little as three seconds by using a fully encrypted card reader and a computer.
Add a card reader
Pair your Windows device with our VPOS app and reader. Connect your card reader using USB to turn your Windows device into a fast and secure virtual point of sale.
Streamline the process
Choose a pre-integrated solution, such as a retail payment terminal or kiosk, from our partners, using Authorize.net for payments.
Use a compatible card reader
Purchase a BBPOS Chipper 3x reader from POS portal to process payments.
Accept chip card payments
Use an EMV® chip-enabled card reader. Note: EMV chip support is currently limited to the First Data Nashville and TSYS processing platforms. For a list of additional processors and expected support dates, please see our EMV Chip FAQs.
Simplify risk management
Sensitive data is stored in the Authorize.net PCI-compliant data center, never on your computer.
Email or print receipts
Send your customers an email transaction receipt. Easily manage receipt signature settings. We also support Star AllReceipts™ digital receipt solution.
Ensure secure access
Use your account credentials to access the app and authorize and de-authorize devices within the Authorize.net Merchant Interface.
Compatible with the latest printers
VPOS is compatible with any standard 8.5" x 11" laser or ink jet printer. If you prefer a thermal receipt printer, we recommend Star connected via USB or Bluetooth. To find out which receipt printers work with VPOS, visit our support website.
