Card-not-present transaction

Also known as: CNP

A card-not-present transaction is a card payment made without presenting the physical card to the merchant, such as an online purchase. The physical-card check of a store transaction is absent, allowing stolen details to be misused without possession of the card.[1] CNP describes the context, not a finding of fraud.

Use an appropriate online payment setup and evaluate signals together. A verification code or delivery address alone does not establish the cardholder's identity. Separate the dispatch decision from a simple payment-approval message; approval does not rule out a later dispute.
