Handle Mail and Telephone Order Payments

Confirm whether the account supports the channel

Mail order and telephone order payments are commonly called MOTO. Ask your processor whether this channel is approved for your account and which entry method and device it requires. A provider-hosted invoice link can be a separate payment option when the provider allows it and the customer can complete it.

Keep payment details out of everyday support records

• Use only the approved capture and entry process. Check how phone recordings, messages, order notes, and shared documents are handled.
• Keep a masked reference and the order number for later lookup.
• Give staff a clear way to escalate a customer dispute, unexpected payment status, or accidental exposure of payment data.

Confirm the order and the transaction together

Read back the order total and currency using your normal customer verification process. Save the provider’s transaction reference and give the customer the approved receipt or order confirmation. Check settlement and refund records using the same identifier.
