# Create a CVC update token

Creates a single-use token that represents an updated CVC value that you can use for [CVC re-collection](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-synchronously.md#web-recollect-cvc). Use this token when [you confirm a card payment](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/confirm.md#confirm_payment_intent-payment_method_options-card-cvc_token) or use a saved card on a `PaymentIntent` with `confirmation_method: manual`.

For most cases, use our [JavaScript library](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/js/tokens/create_token?type=cvc_update) instead of using the API. For a `PaymentIntent` with `confirmation_method: automatic`, use our recommended [payments integration](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment.md#web-recollect-cvc) without tokenizing the CVC value.

## Returns

Returns the created CVC update token if it’s successful. Otherwise, this call raises [an error](https://docs.stripe.com/api/tokens/create_cvc_update.md#errors).

## Parameters

- `cvc_update` (object, required)
  The updated CVC value this token represents.

  - `cvc_update.cvc` (string, required)
    The CVC value, in string form.
