Testing Address Responses

Use the address tests to test different AVS responses by varying the address and ZIP code data. The address tests are intended to return a realistic AVS response code.

To test address responses:

  1. Submit Authorization or Sale transactions in Table 2-12. The AVS tests always return an avsResult of 00 when submitting 95 Main St. and 95022. If you extend the Zip Code to 9 digits, by appending 1111, the system returns an avsResult of 01, as shown in the second test.

  2. The AVS response code depends on the Address Line 1 and ZIP Code that are passed in with the transaction. Submit additional transactions using the card data from the table, but varying the address/zip information to receive other avsResult codes in the response messages as shown in the tests for orderIds AVS3 and AVS4.

For a detailed list of all possible AVS response codes, see AVS Response Codes.
