Autopay - CVC Code

[Abbie]

Is there a place to enter the CVC Credit Card Codes for Auto payments?

If not, can this field be added?

This would be quite a savings for everyone using auto payments.

Please advise, thank you!

Good day  @Abbie , 

OrthoTrac does not have a field for the CVC / CVV / CVV2  codes and it's unlikely that will be added in the future, because it is actually against PCI compliance to store that number. The reasoning behind this is that if a database of transactions is ever breached, then the CVV2 codes will not be included and the stolen card numbers are not as useful.  CVV2 codes are intended to prove that the card is actually present but not able to be swiped.

Below is a link to a post on the PCI Security Standards website which goes over the reasons why storing of CVV2 codes is prohibited.

We get charged a lower percentage if we use the CVV code. I skip the CVV for auto monthly and enter it for every other transaction.
