How will I know if Virtual Terminal successfully processed a transaction?

When Virtual Terminal has successfully submitted your transaction, it displays the Transaction Confirmation page.

Note: If the transaction failed, you'll see an error message at the top of the Main Virtual Terminal page and the Card Number field will be cleared. Make the appropriate changes and retry the transaction.

Declined Transaction error message

The Transaction Confirmation page contains the following details:

Transaction ID – PayPal's identification number for each transaction
- Click the Transaction ID to view the Transaction Details page for more information. On the Transaction Details page, you can do the following:
  - Complete secondary tasks such as Void, Capture, and Refund.
  - Create a new transaction based on the data provided for this transaction.
- Click Copy to copy the transaction ID to your computer clipboard. From there, you can paste it into another program or app (such as Microsoft Excel® or accounting software).

Date and Time – Date and time of the transaction
Transaction Type – Type of transaction performed (for example, Authorization)
Card Number – Number of the credit card used for the transaction. For security reasons, Virtual Terminal shows only the last four digits.

You can also complete other tasks on this page. To do so, click one of the following buttons:

Receipt – Click Receipt to go to the Receipt page, where you can view and either print the receipt or send it to your customer via email.
Packing Slip – Print a packing slip to go with the shipment. This is the same as the receipt, but it doesn't include the monetary amount of the transactions. If you included information such as an invoice ID and a description of the transaction, it's displayed on the packing slip.

Shipping Label – Print a label for your shipment.
