In the digital age, the convenience of online payments is paramount. However, with this convenience comes the persistent issue of cart abandonment. One significant contributor to this problem is the cumbersome process of repeatedly entering CVV details for card transactions. Customers often find this repetitive step tedious and time-consuming, leading to frustration and, ultimately, incomplete purchases. This not only affects customer satisfaction but also impacts the revenue of businesses relying on seamless transactions.
Solution We Built and Benefits
To address this prevalent issue, Razorpay Optimizer introduces the CVV-less flow at checkout. This solution is designed to streamline the payment process by eliminating the need for customers to enter their CVV details repeatedly. Here’s how it works and the benefits it offers:
CVV-Less Flow Workings
- Tokenization: When a customer makes a payment for the first time, their card details are securely tokenized and stored. Tokenization ensures that sensitive card information is replaced with a unique identifier or token, enhancing security.
- Subsequent Transactions: For future transactions, customers can simply select their stored card and proceed without the need to re-enter CVV details.
- Security: Despite the absence of CVV input, security is not compromised. The tokenization process adheres to the highest standards of data protection, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure.
As of June 2024, this feature is enabled on Visa and Amex cards, and flow is supported for tokenized payments only.
Benefits of CVV-Less Flow
- Enhanced User Experience: By reducing the steps required for payment, the CVV-less flow significantly enhances the user experience. Customers enjoy a quicker, more streamlined checkout process, leading to increased satisfaction.
- Increased Conversion Rates: The simplified payment process helps in reducing cart abandonment rates. Customers are more likely to complete their purchases when the checkout process is quick and hassle-free.
- Improved Security: Tokenization provides an added layer of security. Even if a token is intercepted, it is useless without the actual card details, which are securely stored.
- Business Growth: With higher conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction, businesses can expect to see growth in revenue and customer loyalty.

The introduction of the CVV-less flow by Razorpay is a game-changer in the world of online payments.
