cvv

[searley]

im using offline card processing, but my processor requires me to enter the CVV to process the payment

 

CVV is captured at the cart, but there is now way for me to get this

 

how can i process the payment??

It's against the terms of pretty much every CC company for anyone to store that number in any manner. This is why WHMCS doesn't save it anywhere. That's intended to be passed to the CC gateway, used immediately and discarded.

 

AFAIK, you will need the cooperation of the buyer to provide this after the fact, though it may be possible (and a bad idea) to trap that number during checkout.

Hi,

It's specifically against Visa/Mastercard/Amex etc rules to store the CVV number, so no system should be doing that, not even writing it down on a piece of paper.

Just wonder why large shopping carts like actinic catalog allow it.. And why i HAVE to provide it even for cnp's

Don't know what a "cnp" is (EDIT: card not present?), but this from Actinic's terms:

The Merchant agrees not to:

store the full payment card number, CVV, CVV2, CVC2 or PVV information and/or

any Track 2 information derived from the chip or magnetic strip on the payment

card; or log the full payment card number, CVV, CVV2, CVC2 or PVV information and/or

any Track 2 information for any purpose at all including debugging or auditing and

nor will any other record of these elements of the card transaction be held

electronically or on paper.
