What is a CVV Verification Error?

A CVV verification error occurs when the Card Verification Value (CVV) entered during a transaction does not match the CVV number printed on the physical card. This can happen when making an online purchase and is a security measure to ensure the cardholder is present and authorizing the transaction.
