A manual imprint of the card is also highly advised for any manually entered credit cards. This will also help prevent charge disputes. Contact your Paynet sales representative for information on Manual Imprinters.

It’s simply added protection. Manual imprinters can be purchased at various online stores. Or you can contact Paynet Systems at 1-800-809-1989 and we’ll gladly have one shipped.
