Validate credit card info when creating recurring gift

Dylan Hochreiter

Is there a way to validate credit card info, like number and security code when creating a recurring gift?

You would need to send the Gift API a token with these details, and it would come from the Payments API. The Payment API would handle all the card info details directly.

Thanks Anthony for answering.

We are using the card token endpoint to store the card through the Payments API, and it doesn't seem to have a security code parameter - which is one of the fields I need to validate. Also it doesn't seem to validate the card information. Even though I am sending in an invalid credit card token I do not get any error from the token endpoint. I just get the token, and I can send it as a parameter when creating the gift and it does not complain at all.

This is the endpoint I've mentioned above:

Hi Dylan

The CVC code is used primarily as a fraud protection measure for online card not present transactions and is not required to process a merchant-initiated payment such as a recurring gift, therefore it is not saved in BBMS.

When tokenizing a payment method using the card token endpoint, BBMS will validate the format but will not confirm that it's a valid card account until the time of processing.
