Like most businesses, my training company accepts credit cards for payment for book orders and classroom presentations. Over the past 10 years or so I’ve processed hundreds of credit cards with nary a glitch or bobble; process the credit card and the money is in my account the next day.
In the past I only needed the credit card number and expiration date to process a payment, which my customers would enter into my secure website shopping cart. Recently my credit card processor changed its requirements and now I must include the card verification code (CVC), which is usually located on the back of a Visa or MasterCard or the front of an American Express card. The processor also now requires the billing street address before processing a credit card payment.
