Processing an Order

You can process an order by using the Enterprise Business Center (EBC) or the MIT Merchant's Payment Pages.

Getting Started Using the Enterprise Business Center

You will be using the Enterprise Business Center (EBC) to process orders, credits, and voids; swipe a card; produce receipts, search for information; and produce reports. I need help with this page is available on each screen.

Different Ways To Accept An Order

Depending on whether the card is present or not, you can process an order as follows:

Card present: Customers present their credit card.
The merchant enters the order information in the Enterprise Business Center (EBC) system and swipes the card on the swipe machine.
Card not present: Customers can call on the phone.
The merchant can access Virtual Terminal in EBC and enter the information. The swipe machine is not involved in this transaction.

Accessing the EBC

MIT Merchant's Payment Pages

Another way to process an order is through the MIT Merchant's Web Payment pages. These are web-based forms for MIT employees and customers to fill out online and provide credit card information.

They can be a simple generic MIT Payment Page that the customer can access remotely and pay for the order or, customers can, at their own cost, develop and customize their own page and link it to their website. Samples of generic payment pages: Sample 1 and Sample 2.

They also can be more comprehensive payment pages. For example, if the department has its own web site, the customer can attach a Payment Page form to the web site and customize it, e.g., add the department's logo to the form. Customers can develop the form if there is a technical resource, such as a web content developer, in the department. If customers do not have a web site and are thinking about having one, they can contact DCAD (Departmental Consulting and Application Development) or an outside resource to assist in the development of a new site.
