Verify credit card address

The Secure Payments API supports Address Verification System (AVS) requests. Here's what you need to know about this request:

• AVS is used by financial institutions as security measure against card fraud. This system verifies that a provided address matches the address on file at the issuing bank. Some payment processors may require AVS, while others may not.

• To send an AVS request, you first need to have the AVS Address Verify ↗ event activated in Secure Payments.

• This service incurs a cost per use, but no costs are incurred for activating the event.

• The payload of this request can be formatted in two ways: one that includes the full card information, and one that includes only the card token. See our payload samples below for an example of each.

• AVS requests return a code that corresponds to a a verification result. Here's a list of the possible AVS codes:

  AVS Code	Description
