    For a transaction to be authorized, your account at Moolah and with Authorize.Net must both be configured to accept the card type being submitted with the transaction (for example, American Express, Discover, etc.).

    To verify the card types that your Authorize.Net account currently accepts:

    Log into the Merchant Interface at https://account.authorize.net.
    Click Account from the main toolbar.
    Click Merchant Profile from the menu on the left.
    Under Payment Methods, review the card types listed.

    Next, contact us at Moolah ( 800-625-1670 ) so we can verify which card types are configured for your account. If we do not have your account configured for the card type you are attempting to process, we can assist with setting up the new card type.

  • How do I use the Address Verification Service (AVS)? What settings should I configure?

    The Address Verification Service (AVS) is a standard credit card verification feature supported by Authorize.Net that compares the billing address provided by a customer for a credit card transaction with the billing address on file for the cardholder at the credit card issuing bank. The issuing bank returns a code to the payment gateway indicating the results of the match. For example, the AVS code A indicates that the street address matched, but the first five digits of the ZIP code did not.

    The AVS filter settings in the Merchant Interface allow you to specify when a transaction should be rejected based on the results of the AVS match. The following result codes are possible:

    AVS CODE

    DESCRIPTION

    A – Address (street) matches, ZIP code does not

    B – Address information not provided for AVS check.

    E – AVS error

    G – Non-U.S. card issuing bank

    N – No match on address (street) or ZIP code

    P – AVS not applicable for this transaction

    R – Retry – System unavailable or timed out

    S – Service not supported by issuer

    U – Address information is unavailable

    W – 9 digit ZIP code matches, address (street) does not.

    Y – Address (street) and 5 digit ZIP code match

    Z – 5 digit ZIP matches, Address (Street) does not

    Note: AVS code X is also a valid response. This response indicates the Address (Street) and 9 digit ZIP match. The payment gateway cannot be configured to automatically reject AVS code X.

    AVS responses B, E, G, N, R, S, U are the default payment gateway AVS settings. When one of these AVS codes is returned, transactions are automatically rejected by the payment gateway unless you modify the default settings in the Merchant Interface.

    To configure transaction rejection settings based on the AVS response code:

    Log into the Merchant Interface at https://account.authorize.net/.

    Click Account from the main toolbar.

    Select Settings.

    Click Address Verification Service in the Security Settings section.

    Select the check box(es) next to the AVS codes for which the payment gateway should reject transactions.

    Click Submit.

    Note: In order to use AVS, you must require the billing address and ZIP code when collecting payment information from your customers. Please contact your Web developer or software provider to confirm that your credit card processing software requires this information.

    Tips for using AVS:

    AVS code N (neither the street address nor the ZIP code matches) is the most fundamental AVS check. If you implement only one AVS rejection setting, this should be it.
    If N is deselected, then the following settings should also be deselected: B, E, G, R, S, U. These responses mean that the address could not be verified by the card issuer. If you are not rejecting transactions when there is a legitimate AVS mismatch (N), then it is unnecessary to reject transactions that could not be verified with the issuer.

    To avoid errors when accepting prepaid debit cards or gift cards (stored-value cards with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express logo), you will need to disable the U filter setting. For this type of transaction, the actual customer’s billing address often is not associated with the gift card, or does not exist on file at the issuing bank.

    Not all AVS checks from banks outside the United States will return G (the credit card issuing bank is of non-U.S. origin, and does not support AVS checks). Therefore, this is not an absolutely effective method for limiting transactions to the U.S.

    Code Y (both the street address and the first 5 digits of the ZIP code match) is the desired responses in most cases. This setting should never be selected for rejection.

  • How does Address Verification Service (AVS) work with International customers?

    The Address Verification Service (AVS) is used to validate the address that is on file with your customer’s credit card issuer for domestic transactions. However, in most cases, credit card institutions outside the U.S. do not support AVS. The result is that most international transactions cannot have their addresses verified. This puts these transactions at a higher risk of fraud. This also may result in higher discount rates from your Merchant Service Provider for accepting international transactions.*

    By default, the Authorize.Net gateway rejects these types of transactions. However, these settings can be altered so the majority of international transactions can be processed. To modify your AVS settings, please review the following instructions:

    Log into your Merchant Interface at https://account.authorize.net.

    Click Account from the main toolbar.

    Click Settings in the main left side menu.

    Click Address Verification Service.

    Unselect the check boxes for AVS Code G, U, and S to accept international credit cards.

    Click Submit to save the changes.

    Note: By changing these settings, you accept any risk associated with processing international transactions
