AVS Result Codes
IMPORTANT: The AVS result is for advice only. Banks do not decline transactions based on
the AVS result—you make the decision to approve or decline each transaction.
You must manually check the results of each manual transaction to view its
AVS result and to act on it appropriately.
AVS does not operate for manual transactions.
For US cardholders, the Address Verification Service (AVS) compares the submitted street
address and zip code with the values on file at the cardholder’s bank. (AVS is supported by
most US banks and by some International banks.)
The International AVS response (IAVS) indicates whether AVS response is international (Y),
USA (N), or cannot be determined (X). Payflow Pro client version 3.06 or later is required.
