Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) is a MultiSafepay solution that lets you process card-not-present payments over the phone or by email.

How it works

The customer provides their card details to you over the phone or by email.

Since MOTO skips 3D Secure authentication, you bear the increased risk of fraud. To help ensure the customer is the cardholder, ask them to provide as much identifying information as possible, e.g.:

• Full name
• Address
• Phone numbers
• Email address
• Name of bank
• A copy of their signature on some correspondence, e.g. a scanned order confirmation

You handle the transaction via your MultiSafepay dashboard or our API.

Prerequisites

To handle MOTO transactions via our API, you must be PCI DSS compliant.
See Cardholder data.
