Card Validator

Credit Card Validator

Credit card numbers are generated according to certain rules. It gives merchants a way to verify the validity of a card number before accepting the customer's payment. The calculation to compare a credit card number with your checksum is known as the Luhn algorithm. You can also save time by using Prepostseo online credit card validator to perform the checksum calculations for you.

How to Perform Manual Validation?

First step:

Enter the last digit of the credit card number. This is the digit of the checksum you will use to verify the rest of the credit card number.

Second step:

Enter each digit of the credit card number, starting with the digit to the left of the checksum and moving to the left. If the credit card number has 16 digits, double the amount of each digit in the odd places, working from right to left, before adding it to your list.

In the case of credit cards with 15 digits, it would duplicate the digits in the points of uniform position. If you double results of digits in a number greater than 10, add the two digits of the new number together and write that result into your list. For example, if the digit on the card is seven, duplicating it would result in 14. The total of the two digits would then be five.

Third Step:

Totalize your list of numbers. Do not include the checksum digit in your total. If the total can be divided by 10, the credit card has a valid number. Otherwise, you shouldn't process credit card transactions.

The importance of credit card validation

It is important to keep in mind that whenever fraudulent cards are used, the merchant loses. The customer of a stolen credit card is not hooked, and the credit card companies are generally not affected. However, the merchant generally stays away from the product or service provided, as well as the resources necessary to discover the fraud and fight against the credit card company. And if too many fraudulent transactions occur, you may incur higher processing fees, expensive chargebacks or even losing your merchant account and your ability to do business.
