AboutAnnette Expertise I am an expert on online shopping. I can find you coupon codes that you can use to save money when you shop online.
Experience I wrote a book entitled "Best of the Web: A No-Fluff Guide" under my pen name Annette Morgan. I have a section on shopping bargains in the book.
I was wondering if you could help me.My question is,as a first time credit/debitcard owner,i need help in filling out an online credit card form. Ie.the form that you're given to fill out when you go to buy something online.
I've never brought online before and only recently applied for my debit visa card so that i could shop online and buy some things i wouldnt otherwise be able to get.
On the forms it asks for a number of details and the way the form is set out seems to be a bit different from site to sight. I took the time to record a screen shot in jpg format of a typical form that i want to fill out and i would apreciate it if you could tell me exacrtly how to fill it out using my card
i know what to enter in a few of the feilds myself..the card expiry date,name address etc but for example where it says '' CVV2 Number '' And at the top of the form it says '' Credit card hash: Do i need to input the 16 digit number on the front of my card there? or there is another set of numbers at the bottom - my sort code and account number i think - do i input my account number?
its my very first time buying online and i dont want to mess it up,not when im using personal information like this..
would really apreciate the help if you could explain it all to me so i can start to shop online and get it right...-) Also obviously i havent brought anything yet or been to very many sites to buy,so,if you know that there is or may will be any changes or potential differences on another form i might need to fill out from maybe a different company etc then just explaining what i would do in the other case would be great...One more thing! Will i get some kind of digital receipt after i've finished my transaction as proof that i've actually used the site and brought something? Otherwise i was just wondering what would happen if for some reason my order didnt get delivered and i needed to chase up the problem to find out whats happened.
Any tips that would help me get it right and stay safe whilst buying online would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks.
Answer I have never had a debit card, but I have bought things online with a credit card. I am guessing the structure is the same. On a credit card, the "CVV2 number" is on the back of the card. It is the last 3 or 4 consecutive numbers on the number in the back of the card.
Example:
Number on back of the card: 2345 4343 554
CCV2 number is 554
Number of back of another card: 12343 234 3333
CCV2 number is 3333
The credit/debit card number should be on the front of the card. This is the number that should be inputted where it says credit card number. If there are two sets of numbers on the front of a debit card, my guess is that it would be the numbers that appear most prominent that should be inputted.
After you have completed the transaction, the online company will usually send a receipt to your email address. Sometimes, they show you a receipt on their web site after the transaction is completed.
