Testing Using AVS Codes
You can simulate address verification by triggering an AVS error code when you call
DoDirectPayment or use Virtual Terminal. To specify a code, place AVS_
code in the NVP
SHIPTOSTREET field or the Street1 SOAP element when you call DoDirectPayment,
where
code is an AVS code. Alternately, enter AVS_code in Address Line 1 when using
Virtual Terminal. For example, if you set 123 AVS_A Street in the NVP SHIPTOSTREET
field, AVS code A is set.
N OTE: AVS_code is case sensitive; all characters must be uppercase. For example, AVS_A is a
valid trigger, but avs_a is not.
Table 9.3 identifies valid AVS codes, corresponding triggers, and description of the error
conditions.
TABLE 9.3 AVS Error Conditions and Triggers
AVS Code Trigger Description of Error
A AVS_A The address matches, but no zip code is specified. This results in an error if the “Partial
Address Match” risk control is set.
B AVS_B The international address matches, but no zip code is specified. This results in an error if
the “Partial Address Match” risk control is set.
D AVS_D Exact match (no error). The international address and postal code match.
