Testing Address Verification Service (AVS)
IMPORTANT: Once you deploy the filters to Live mode (either Observe or Active), the AVS
and card security code checks that you may have previously set on the Payflow
Link Configuration page are replaced by the AVS and card security code filter
settings. In Observe mode, no action is taken on AVS and card security code.
To take action if you are confident of your filter settings, deploy to Active
mode.
The PayPal testing server simulates AVS by returning a value for AVSADDR based on the
first three characters of the submitted value for STREET, as shown in
Table 7.5.
The testing server returns a value for AVSZIP based on the submitted ZIP value as shown in
Table 7.6.
