Only available in BPOINT API v5.
Address Verification Service (AVS) is a fraud prevention mechanism that validates a customer's billing address against the records held by their card issuer. The response returns an AVS result code indicating the match status.
BPOINT does not automatically decline transactions based on AVS outcomes. Your integration is responsible for evaluating the result and determining whether to proceed with payment processing.
To enable AVS, please contact your Relationship Manager or our Merchant Support Helpdesk on 1800 230 177 (option 1, 3, 1) Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (AEST).
To verify the customer's address, perform the following:
- Create authkey
- Attach transaction details (Set action property to VerifyOnly value)
