Authorize.net Address Verification Settings

There are settings on the Authorize.net interface that need to be set up/changed - or you can get address mismatch or rejection issues. If you suddenly find you are getting a lot of rejections for credit card authorizations due to AVS errors, please verify your settings in the authorize.net portal.

To set these parameters, you perform the following steps:

1. Open your online gateway to Authorize.net and choose Account >> Settings.

   The main Settings window opens.

   

2. In the Security Settings section, click on Address Verification Service.

   The following window displays.

   

3. Ensure the following settings are enabled:
