With TAKU, it is possible to accept credit card payments, even without a card terminal, also known as *card-not-present* payments. The two main methods of card-not-present payments are **Manual Entry** and **Saved Card**.

1. In the **Sales Register**, scan an item.
2. Click on the **Pay** button.
3. Click on the integrated **Manual Entry** button. This will open the secure web component where you’ll fill out all the required fields.
