The Visa CVES allows us to perform mandatory Level 3 testing and validation of EMV-enabled payment terminals on behalf of acquiring banks and payment processors.
Visa’s CVES initiative will enable us to execute Acquirer Device Validation Toolkit (ADVT) testing and Contactless Device Evaluation Toolkit (CDET) testing, analyze the results, and submit final reports on behalf of Visa’s clients into the Chip Compliance Reporting Tool (CCRT).
You can partner with us, and we can simplify the terminal certification service while offering the following advantages:
Suppose you opt for the U. S. Chip Acquirer Self-Accreditation Program; we cover that also with our consulting, testing, and debut services and provide you the confidence to self-certify your chip Point-of-Sale (POS) devices.
Visa CVES is short for Visa Chip Vendor Enabled Service. It is a program that lets third-party suppliers like Payhuddle execute Visa-required testing on contact and contactless payment terminals. CVES makes sure that the terminals can process transactions by meeting both functional and brand-level standards.
Visa CVES is meant to make the process of certifying terminals faster and easier. It lets trustworthy third-party suppliers take care of testing and validation for terminal providers or acquirers. It reduces dependency on Visa's internal labs and speeds up the time it takes to go to market.
Yes, Payhuddle is a CVES supplier that is approved by Visa. We are known for doing tests that are required by Visa, such as ADVT and CDET, and sending the findings through Visa's CCRT platform.
Visa CVES includes:
These tests ensure that terminals handle Visa EMV and contactless transactions accurately.
ADVT stands for Acquirer Device Validation Toolkit. ADVT testing makes sure that a contact payment terminal can process chip-based Visa transactions effectively, including EMV flows, data formatting, error management, and cryptographic validation.
CDET is the Contactless Device Evaluation Toolkit. CDET testing checks how well terminals that accept Visa PayWave or NFC-based payments work and whether they follow the rules. It checks that transactions are handled from start to finish in all contactless situations.
Payhuddle uses Visa's CCRT (Chip Compliance Reporting Tool) to send in the results of ADVT and CDET tests that have been checked. We make organized reports, keep accurate logs of findings, and talk directly to Visa to get validation, feedback, and a letter of approval.
We take care of everything, from running tests and analyzing logs to coordinating with Visa and sending in results. As a terminal provider, acquirer, or processor, you don't have to worry about setting up complicated toolkits, understanding what strange problems mean, or changing test cases. We do all the hard work so you can focus on getting it out there.
Yes, we help acquirers and processors take part in Visa's U.S. Chip Acquirer Self-Accreditation Program by assisting them to set up tests, run them, check the logs, and package the results for submission to Visa or internal use.
Of course. We offer consultation, testing, and debugging services to help you make sure your EMV or contactless terminal meets Visa's most recent requirements, whether you are self-certifying or need help with internal validations.
Visa CVES testing is relevant for:
In essence, if you're bringing a Visa-enabled terminal to market or upgrading your transaction flow, CVES testing applies to you.
