We only process payments for the website. Please contact the support team of the website so they can help you.
Payments
Initiated payments mean your purchase is either pending or didn't go through successfully.
Pending transactions are normally applicable for payment methods that need further processing—such as bank transfers. Otherwise, you won't be charged for ‘Initiated’ payments.
To cancel your recurring billing to a website or an application, just go to the Terminal3 payment page on the website you made a purchase and click on the "Help" button.
Go to the "Recurring Payments" tab to see your active recurring subscriptions. Click on cancel.
Click the ‘Help’ button on the page where you make a purchase. You can find this on the upper right part of the checkout page.
You'll see an option to request for a payment method you prefer, which is currently unavailable to you.
To check your previous payments, you can create or sign in to your Terminal3 account. Payments history will be available for you right after sign up.
Terminal3 doesn't store credit card details.
However, make sure in your browser settings ‘Autofill’ or ‘Autocompletion’ options are turned off to protect yourself from possible fraud actions.
To remove the autofill of your credit card details, you should change special settings in your browser.
You may refer to the following sites on how to remove this feature: Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, or Firefox.
The fastest way to check your order is by contacting the website first.
The website admin should be able to advise you about the status of your credits, for most parts, there's just a delay on sending the credits.
Terminal3 processes payments for the website. However, for privacy and security purposes, we don't have access to your account.
Payment failures can be attributed to multiple factors. If you're getting any error message, please send an email at support@terminal3.com together with the screenshot and details of your payment attempt.
The transfer takes 3 to 5 working days, so long as there are sufficient funds in your bank account.
However, there are several factors that may also come into play that slow the process. These can include bank holidays and weekends for the sending and receiving countries.
To help you with this, create an inquiry or email us via support@terminal3.com and attach a screenshot of your statement showing the amount, date, and how many times you were charged.
It'd also be helpful if you can provide the reference number for the charge. It starts with "w" followed by 9 digits (w123456789).
Depending on the website you're buying from, there are instances when the payment processor of your purchase is located in a different country.
For this type of scenario, a 1% international fee may be applied by your bank or credit card provider. Note this is related to Visa, Mastercard, and AMEX international regulations.
Payment verification
Terminal3 fraud protection works to provide a high level of security and safety for our customers. We perform fraud checks to verify our users and for faster processing of future payments.
Due to various security reasons, our risk department may opt to block you from making further payments until you have verified your account to establish that you are the owner.
And that you have full access to the payment method you used.
This may involve providing a copy of your ID and/or some information on the credit card copy like name on the card, expiry date, first six and last four digits of the card number.
Make sure your documents are appropriately masked (e.g. CVV code at the back of the card, 4 digits in between the first 6 and last 4 digits of the credit card number).
You can take a photo of your card using your mobile phone.
Please make sure that only the first 6 and last 4 card digits are visible, you can mask other card number digits. The photo capture also needs to show the name on the card and the expiry date.
By using Terminal3, which is compliant with the strictest PCI requirements, your data is secure and protected.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the standard that protects the data of customers and ensure the proper transfer of their data and implementation/handling of debit and credit card transactions.
Transaction verification is a one-time procedure. You can be sure your future payments made with the same card or verified payment system will go through automatically without any delay.
When you do transaction verification, the payment through your credit card is automatically cancelled.
So, no payment was taken from your card, but if you used a different payment method such as digital wallet, it'd take 7-10 business days or depending on their bank's processing time.
By providing us the details of your card (First 6 digits, last 4 digits, and expiration date), we'll blacklist your credit card on our system to ensure you won't be charged.
You may be requested to provide the front and back copies of the new card that you'll be using for future purchases to have it verified, and ensure faster processing of your payments.
Terminal3 is committed to providing the highest level of fraud protection both for our merchants and users.
By providing the ID and proof of payment, you help us prevent any possible fraudulent activities and identity theft.
This verification process is also implemented to ensure that your payments are processed efficiently.
Payouts
Terminal3 can pay you via the following methods.
- Bank and Wire Transfer (Globally)
- Check (US only)
- PayPal (Globally)
You receive payouts once a month. If your monthly revenues are greater than $100,000 we can send payouts twice a month.
If you're a minor and would like to use our service, please ask your parents (or legal guardians) to accept the payout on your behalf. In compliance with international laws, we require the beneficiary of the payout to be of legal age.
We can send the payout in USD or EUR provided that the bank used for the deposit is denominated in this currency.
There is a $100 minimum payout threshold. Once the $100 threshold is met, we'll automatically send you the payout as long as all compliance documents are uploaded and approved.
To receive your payout, please make sure all required compliance documents are submitted and approved. Check out your payout settings page for the complete list of required documents.
We send out payouts as we collect your revenues from our payment partners. It depends on the payment method used by the users and release time of our payment partners which usually vary between 30 to 60 days.
The payout can also be put on hold for a specific amount of time if we see you've stopped processing payments. This is to cover any possible chargebacks the users may file. Once the prescriptive period is over, we'll pay your remaining balance minus any refunds or chargebacks.
Integrations
When a user makes a payment or completes an advertising offer via Offerwall, we send you an HTTP/HTTPS server-to-server notification communicating their user id and the details of the purchase. We call this notification a pingback.
Once you receive a pingback from Terminal3, you will need to deliver the purchased product (or virtual currency) to the respective user. For this you'll need to build a pingback listener script on your server.
You should input the URL of this script (Pingback URL) in the Pingback section of your Project Settings inside of your Terminal3 Merchant Account. Follow the guidelines for the Pingback URL samples script (based on API type): Digital Goods Virtual Currency.
You can refer to the Getting Started page for instructions on how to set up a pingback. You may also check our Digital Goods, Virtual Currency, or Cart APIs' pages for details on the Pingback API format.
Upon receiving a pingback and processing the order on your side, we also recommend implementing the Delivery Confirmation API so that Terminal3 can track the order status (in case of non-instant delivery) and update users in case they inquire about the payment status and so Terminal3 can dispute possible chargebacks.
You can set up custom pingback parameters in My Projects > Settings > Custom Pingback Parameters section. Any custom parameters can be added by specifying their name and value. For elaborate instructions, check out the pingback parameters page.
HTTP request is sent from our servers to your pingback listener script where we communicate to your server the details about the payment so your server can process the pingback and deliver the product or virtual currency to the according to user automatically.
With Email Pingback an email is sent to the address that you configure once a user pays or completes an offer. Once you receive the email, you should deliver the product manually to the user. Note: We highly recommend using HTTP Pingback for automatic processing of orders.
We have plugins for several shopping carts, and we continuously add more, including: WordPress - Enjin/Buycraft - PrestaShop - WHMCS - OpenCart - Magento - CS-Cart - Drupal, Ubercart - Typo3. Check out our shopping cart plugins page for the full list of integrations.

Refunds
When a user reaches out to Terminal3 support for a refund, this is routed to the approval of the website for approval.
If there's a delay in the refund, there are two scenarios, either it’s still pending for the approval of the website or the request is declined as it’s not meeting the requirement of the website’s refund policy.
The support team will be able to advise you directly if your refund request has been approved or declined.
The refund policy is based on the approval of the website from which you made a purchase. This varies per website.
When the website agrees or approves your refund request, the system will generate the refund and availability of the funds is dependent on the processing timeframe of the payment system chosen in making the purchase. Generally, this takes 5 to 7 working days.
There are two scenarios when you can get a refund. First one is when our fraud and risk system identifies there's a charge that needs to be verified.
This process is in place to make sure that you as a user is protected from any possible scam or fraudulent activity. The second scenario is when the website where you purchased your item is unable to deliver the goods due to some technical issues on their end.
In this scenario, you can report this to the website itself so they can fix it or you can also send an inquiry through support@terminal3.com so the team can coordinate and fix it for you.
