Transaction Central - Your online processing
and reporting resource

Transaction Central™, included FREE with EVERY MerchantAnywhere.com account, is a web-based credit card and ACH terminal that has all the functionality of an electronic countertop terminal.  Enter your transactions with nothing more than your Internet Explorer browser, with Address Verification and CVV2 fraud protection!

You can use the reporting system to get the information on any date range you choose.  While there are many different reports, I find the most useful is the Transaction Detail Report.  You can select any date range, but the default (just pressing "Apply Filters") will show you today's sales.

You can get the details of any transaction by clicking on its "Transaction ID". 

If you are sending transactions from a mobile device to Transaction Central, you can display the signatures you captured (Signature send option must be ON).  Just click on "View Receipt", and you will get an image of the receipt, with signature, ready to print on your laser or inkjet!

I can't remember that crazy URL to enter my transactions! We hear that a LOT. So, to help our merchants remember, we now have created the convenient:
 
www.EnterTransactions.com

which is certainly easier to remember!  It will take you to Transaction Central, and gives us a location to alert you to critical hardware and software updates as well!

  A single click on the SALE button lets you directly enter keyed transactions for your phone, FAX, and mail order sales!  Address Verification (AVS) and CVV2 (Card Verification Value - see below) help you prevent fraud and avoid chargebacks!

Transaction Central users now have the ability to add the CVV2 verification to their online transactions.  CVV2 stands for Card Verification Value, and it is the three numbers on the back of the card, in the right-hand side of the signature panel on Visa, MasterCard, and Discover as seen below:

American Express has a similar feature, called CID, on the front of its cards, on the right hand side. You can Enter the CID number in the CVV2 field for American Express Transactions.
