Testing Card Security Code
If you submit a value for a card security code, the cardholders bank returns a Yes/No/Not
Supported (Y/N/X) response on whether the value matches the number on file at the bank.
NOTE: Some processors will decline (result code 12) a transaction if the card security code
does not match without returning a CVV2MATCH value. Test the results and check
with your processor to determine whether they support card security code checking.
For testing, the first three characters of the submitted card security code value determine the
card security code result, as shown in
Table 5.7.
If you are using card security code checking and the Silent Post feature, then you can identify
which transactions have been voided by looking for the following value:
RESPMSG=CSCDECLINED.
NOTE: Be sure to look at the response message for your transaction. Even if your result code is
0, your response message might say that the transaction has failed.
