The Credit Card Verification feature allows you to put in place a security process to check ownership of credit cards used for orders on your site. When turned on, the system will flag credit card orders over a set monetary threshold completed through guest checkout and when a new credit card is used by registered Users or Customers. Two verification methods are available - Short Change (the new and recommended one) and Split Charge (the older method). Affected order orders are placed on hold ('pending') until credit card ownership has been verified. |
