Manual Entry

Manual entry refers to the process of inputting credit card information directly into a transaction terminal, such as the Signio Manager, by hand rather than swiping, inserting, or tapping the card on a reader. This method is typically used when physical card transactions are not possible, such as during phone orders or when a card's magnetic stripe or chip is malfunctioning.

In summary, while manual entry provides a necessary alternative for processing payments without a physical card, it requires careful handling to mitigate associated risks. Merchants must ensure that adequate security measures are in place to protect against errors and potential fraud when using this method.
