Either this, or a assignable CVV codes. Something like that would be awesome.

That wouldn't work since CVV codes aren't sent with recurring transactions (they can't, since they cannot be stored).

Why can't they be stored?

Is it a legal requirement to prevent merchants without the CCV from using the credit card?

...oh wait

[duskwuff]

Because the CVV is used to indicate the "presence" of the customer at a transaction. CVV1 (which is on the magstripe) is used to indicate "card-present" physical transactions, CVV2 (printed on the back) is used for "customer just typed this in" non-physical transactions.

[gcr]

That makes much more sense. Thank you.

__should__ not be stored

[treahauet]

Good point. Regardless, there should be __something__.
