A card verification value, often called CVV or CVC, is a short code printed on a payment card and used in card verification. It differs from the card number and personal PIN.[1] A matching code can support payment checks but does not independently identify the person placing an online order.
Use the intended payment collection mechanism rather than asking for the code in support messages or order notes. A positive code check does not replace strong authentication or guarantee a fraud-free transaction. Check the final payment status before recording the order as paid.
