The Shipping Address Verification Filter allows you to identify transactions with invalid postal addresses.
The filter status, Filter Enabled, Filter Disabled or Not Configured appears at the top of the page.
To enable the Shipping Address Verification Filter:
Step 1: Click the Enable Filter check box at the top of the page. Or, to disable the Shipping Address Verification Filter, make sure that the Enable Filter check box is deselected.
Step 2: Click the radio button next to the appropriate Filter Action for this filter.
Note: In the event that a transaction triggers more than one filter, and each filter is configured with a different action, the most severe filter action will be applied to the transaction. For example, you might configure filter A to decline all triggered transactions, and filter B to authorize but hold all triggered transactions. If a transaction triggers both filters A and B, it will be declined rather than authorized and held for review.
Step 3: Click Save to save your settings or click Cancel to cancel the action.
Your saved settings are applied immediately to all transactions screened by the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that transactions are run through the Shipping Address Verification Filter, you must edit your payment form settings to set the Shipping Address, City, State and Zip Code fields as “Required” fields. This is true regardless of whether you use Advanced Integration Method (AIM) or Server Integration Method (SIM) for connecting to the payment gateway.
To configure your payment form settings for AVS:
Step 1: Click Account from the main toolbar at the top of the page.
Step 2: Click Payment Form under the Transaction Format Settings section.
Step 3: Click Form Fields.
Step 4: Under the Shipping Information section, click to select the boxes in the Edit and Required columns for the Address, City, State and Zip Code fields.
Note: When requiring fields, both the Edit and Required attributes must be configured.
Step 5: Click Submit. A confirmation message indicates that your settings have been successfully applied.
IMPORTANT: Your payment form settings are applied to your payment gateway account regardless of whether or not you use the hosted payment form.
