CVC authentication with registered card stripe

Question

I'm currently using stripe and ask customer to register the card (via stripe).

After the first checkout, the customer has his card registered. This customer can re-use this card for another checkout and I want to ask the CVC / Card Security Code for preventing the low security passwords.

Is there a call to the stripe api for this "CVC authentication" ?

Thank you

There's unfortunately no way to do this with Stripe at the moment. There is no API you could call that would use a saved card and where you would pass the CVC along so that it's sent to the bank and checked again.

You either need to ask for the full card details again or simply rely on the saved card itself. When you create the customer and the card you can check if cvc_check is set to pass to make sure that the CVC was sent and validated by the bank so that you don't have to ask for it again in the future.
