Make Sure You Can Continue Accepting Payments

Our wireless provider is shutting down the 3G network that powers your credit card terminal. Process transactions online with the Clearent Virtual Terminal or upgrade your device today.

Sign up for FREE access to the Clearent Virtual Terminal or you will be unable to accept payments.

Avoid Interruptions in Service

What is happening with 3G?
The wireless provider that powers your terminal is shutting down its older 3G network in February 2022. This will allow them to shift resources to their 5G network which delivers much faster speeds and greater connectivity.

Will 3G devices stop working?
After the 3G network is shut down, there will no longer be data for devices that do not at least have 4G capabilities. If you have issues connecting to the cellular network in your area it’s likely because support for 3G is ending.

What do I need to do?
Before your terminal loses connection you need to decide how you will process payments going forward. If you do not upgrade your device or start processing transactions online, such as through the Clearent Virtual Terminal which you can access for free, you will be unable to accept payments. 

What is a Virtual Terminal?

Clearent’s web-based Virtual Terminal is easy to use and works without software or traditional credit card terminals so that you can accept and manage payments virtually anywhere. 

With the addition of an EMV card reader that’s coming soon, the Clearent Virtual Terminal will be a truly mobile solution. The best part is that there are no additional monthly fees like there are with typical wireless terminals! 

Securely accept one-time and recurring card payments anywhere – all you need is internet access

Send customers a request for payment through a text message, email or messaging platform

Use the Virtual Terminal app to accept card-not-present mobile payments on iOS & Android devices
