The Card Code Verification (CCV) security feature provides an extra measure of security against fraudulent credit card transactions.
The card code is a security code that is printed on a credit card’s signature panel in reverse italics, or following the full card number on the front of the card.
When the card code is required on the payment form or in the Virtual Terminal, customers must provide both the credit card number on the front of the card as well as the card code for a transaction.
The settings on this page indicate to the payment gateway when to accept or decline transactions based on the CCV response from the processor.
To change your card code rejection settings:
Step 1: Click the check box next to each card code verification condition upon which you would like to reject a transaction. You can check more than one condition.
Step 2: Click Submit. A confirmation message indicates that your settings have been successfully applied.
