Identifying the Symptom: Incorrect CVC

When using Stripe Checkout, you might encounter an error message indicating 'incorrect_cvc'. This error typically appears during the payment process when the CVC (Card Verification Code) entered by the customer does not match the one on file with the card issuer.

Understanding the Issue: Incorrect CVC Code

The 'incorrect_cvc' error is triggered when the CVC code provided by the customer is incorrect. The CVC is a security feature for credit or debit card transactions, providing an additional layer of fraud protection. It is crucial for the CVC to be entered correctly to authorize the transaction.

Common Causes of Incorrect CVC

  • Typographical errors by the customer.
  • Using an expired or invalid card.
  • Fraudulent attempts with incorrect card details.

Steps to Resolve the Incorrect CVC Issue

Step 1: Verify Customer Details

Contact the customer to verify the CVC code they have entered. Ensure they are using the correct card and entering the CVC as it appears on the card.

Step 2: Request Re-entry of CVC

Ask the customer to re-enter the CVC code carefully. It might help to guide them through the process to ensure accuracy.

Step 3: Check for Card Validity

Ensure that the card being used is valid and not expired. You can refer to the Stripe Declines Documentation for more information on handling card declines.

Step 4: Implement Additional Verification

If the issue persists, consider implementing additional verification steps, such as requiring the customer to verify their identity through other means.

Conclusion

Handling the 'incorrect_cvc' error effectively ensures a smooth payment experience for your customers. By following the steps outlined above, you can resolve this issue promptly and maintain the integrity of your payment process. For further assistance, consult the Stripe Support.
