Current credit card regulations do not allow us to store the Card Verification Value (CVV) codes with credit card information in our database.
Quick Shopping Cart previously included a field for the CVV code on the order page for Point of Sale (POS) transactions. However, this field was removed in compliance with current regulations.
If you want to capture the CVV code, you can use a payment gateway such as Innovative®, Authorize.NET®, or QuickBooks Merchant Services®, or your customers can use PayPal®, where the credit card transaction is handled on PayPal's site.
