Entering CVC code for Guarantees |
Top Previous Next |
Q: Since we take a lot of reservations over the phone, we need to take guests’ security code or cvc-code for their credit card and there is no spot to do so in Campground Master. How might we do that other than writing it on a separate piece of paper?
A: According to new credit card merchant rules (PCI compliance), you are not allowed to store the CVC code on a computer, period. This is why it's no longer allowed in Campground Master.
It is never required to have the CVC code to run a charge, and as far as I know it won't make a difference in your fees. It's just an extra verification method. When the customer arrives, you should always swipe their card to get the lowest rate, in which case a CVC code is not needed anyway.
