Best Practices - Imprinting Credit Cards

If the terminal isn’t working or a card’s magnetic stripe cannot be read:

• Key-enter the account information
• Make an imprint of the embossed information onto the sales draft using a manual imprinter

If the receipt does not have an imprint of the embossed account number and expiration date, the transaction may be charged back to you, even if the transaction is authorized and the cardholder signs the receipt.
