Why does Staples ask for my Credit Card ID Number?

Your Credit Card ID Number or CVV is an additional security feature used by major credit card issuers. Providing your Credit Card ID Number gives the credit card company one more way to confirm that your order is legitimate, and allows them to protect your account against fraud.

Remember, Staples maintains reasonable and appropriate standards to safeguard your Personal Information. We do not save or store your Credit Card ID Number after your order is processed or after you leave the secure checkout area. If you leave the secure checkout area before submitting your order, you will need to reenter your Credit Card ID Number when you complete your checkout.
