 * Hi there
 * I am getting a lot of CVV_FAILURE codes from people ordering. They seem to go
   through when they try PayPal instead. Is something wrong with the Square payment
   gateway?
 * Thank you
    Chris

 * Hi there!
 * [CVV_FAILURE](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/enums/ErrorCode#value-CVV_FAILURE)
   error is recorded when the card issuer declined the request because the CVV value
   is invalid. Is it likely that when they try PayPal they’re trying the correct
   value?
 * Are you able to replicate this behavior when you test order with valid card details?
 * Also, could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find
   it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.
   Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.

 * Howdy!
 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark 
   this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please start a new thread.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi Aashik
 * I did a test transaction using my debit card, and it worked! So maybe they were
   entering in the wrong information.
 * Nevertheless, here’s the report…
