  2. RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE MERCHANT STATISTICS Here are some guidelines for preventing Internet, telephone or mail order fraud: Request that cardholders provide the following information during the order taking process: • Cardholder Name, exactly how their name appears on their card. • Card Number • Card Expiration Date, four-digit number MM/YY. • CVV (Card Verification Value) and/or CID  (Card Identification Data) for some regions, the three-digit number located on the back of the card in the signature panel. • Card billing address along with the ship-to address (when necessary). • Home, business or other telephone number where the cardholder can be reached.

  3. For each transaction, be sure to: • Request and validate the CVV (Card Verification Value) and/or CID (Card Identification Data) for some regions, the three-digit number located on the back of the card in the signature panel. • Verify the customer’s billing address, either electronically or by our address verification service (AVS). • Verify the cardholder name, full billing address, email address and phone number with the Issuer in real-time using. • Check your delivery service contract for who is responsible for merchandise not delivered. • Get a signature for each delivery and keep all delivery records.

  4. Do not key card information to force through a sale for which you have received any declined response to your authorization request. • If the sale is on a credit card, refund sales on the same card. • Include your common DBA and customer service number on the customer’s transaction receipt. • Clearly communicate any and all delivery charges, restocking or other fees. • Clearly explain any return policies and offer documentation of this policy with each sale. • When working on a chargeback, document efforts to satisfy the customer. Be sure to respond to all chargebacks. • Duplicate charges, or installment plans, unless otherwise stated, require an authorization for each sale.

  5. Best practices for e- commerce: • Clearly identify your company name on your Website, on each page if possible. • Include your common DBA and customer service number on the customer’s transaction receipt. • Offer a street or P.O. Box address (some people may not want to utilize e-mail) as contact information on your Website. • Offer a customer service telephone number. • Clearly identify all features of a product or service. • Clearly communicate any and all delivery charges, restocking or other fees. • Clearly identify your company’s return policy and shipping time frames and offer documentation of these policies with each sale. • Disclose the information security policies and processes your business has in place.
