Stripe soon to require CVCs

Stripe is requiring, as of September 2, 2024, merchants to collect CVC codes. Likely a result of potential legislation, Marco Rubio's CVV Act, Stripe is requiring this for payment methods where CVCs are available.

A few things to note:

  1. This requirement is only for payment methods where CVVs are exposed. Alternative payment methods, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, will not require CVVs.
  2. If you are using a Stripe hosted checkout page or Stripe Elements, the CVV form is already embedded and no development changes are needed.
  3. Payment attempts for required methods without CVVs will result in API errors.
