The validation error could mean multiple declines.
Transaction failures for credit card payments can occur for various reasons, particularly when a transaction is flagged as potentially fraudulent. In such cases, the system will generate a generic error message to inform the user of the issue.
Common examples of these messages include, but are not limited to, "Error processing credit card, please contact support" and "Credit card payment failed: Decline for CVV2 failure." These messages serve to alert the end-user that their transaction could not be completed due to security protocols that are in place to protect their financial information.
If you encounter the specific validation error message "Credit card payment failed: Decline for CVV2 failure," it indicates that the card issuer has declined the transaction due to a mismatch or failure in the Card Verification Value 2 (CVV2) check.
The CVV2 code is a security feature that helps verify that the person making the transaction has physical possession of the card. In this situation, it is highly recommended that the end-user contact their bank or card issuer directly. This contact is essential to review any restrictions or holds that may have been placed on their card account, as these could be the reason for the transaction failure.
Engaging with the bank will provide clarity on the issue and help the user resolve any problems related to their card, allowing them to proceed with their transaction securely.
