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
STREET field or the Street1 SOAP element when you call DoDirectPayment, where
code is
an AVS code, or enter AVS_
code in Address Line 1 when using Virtual Terminal. For
example, if you set 123 AVS_A Street in the NVP STREET field, AVS code A is set.
NOTE: AVS_code is case sensitive; all characters must be uppercase. For example, AVS_A is
valid trigger; avs_a is not.
The following table identifies valid AVS codes, corresponding triggers, and a description of
each error condition:
AVS Code Trigger Description of Error
A AVS_A The address matches but no zip code is specified; 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; 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 matches.
F AVS_F Exact match (no error). The UK address and postal code matches.
P AVS_P The postal code matches but no address is specified; results in an error if the “Partial
Address Match” risk control is set.
W AVS_W The 9-digit zip code matches but no address is specified; results in an error if the “Partial
Address Match” risk control is set.
X AVS_X Exact match (no error). The complete address and 9-digit zip code matches.
