Requiring a Card Security Code (CSC) for credit/debit card transactions

As an additional verification for iMIS and e-Series credit card transactions, you can make the Card Security Code (CSC) a required value for specific credit/debit card cash accounts. A CSC is the 3- or 4-digit non-embossed number that displays on the front or back of a credit/debit card. The CSC is not part of the actual card number and is useful in situations where the card holder is not present when the payment is being made.

To make the CSC required, select the CSC Required option for Web Entry, Workstation Entry, or both for the specified credit/debit card cash account(s) on the Set up cash accounts window (from AR/Cash, select Set up tables > Cash accounts). Selecting the CSC Required option for Web Entry makes the CSC required for the specified cash account in e-Series. Selecting the CSC Required option for Workstation Entry makes the CSC required for the specified cash account in iMIS. When the CSC Required option is selected (for either Web Entry or Workstation Entry), a CSC value is required before you can complete the credit/debit card transaction using the specified cash account(s).

A CSC is not required when processing a reversal payment transaction (for example, entering a credit transaction) or when editing a payment transaction.

Note:

The following e-Series page and iMIS payment windows contain a field for entering a CSC value. For iMIS payment windows, the CSC field appears only when you enter a credit/debit card cash account that is associated with a card authorization account that uses Immediate Authorization, or that uses Deferred Authorization with the Save CSC Prior to Authorization option selected.
