Setting AVS and Levels
AVS can be activated on your entire account by setting an AVS level in your FraudTrack link.
The FraudTrack link is located in your administration area. You can also set the level by choosing a level for the variable app-level.
i.e.
Important: The level activated in your FraudTrack or FraudTrak2 admin area will supercede all other methods. Set the FraudTrack or FraudTrak2 AVS level to ‘0’ if you wish to define your own AVS level in transactions.
NOTE: AVS levels will not apply to manually authorized transactions. An AVS response will be returned on screen after submitting a manual authorization, if you do not wish to settle a transaction due to the AVS response, it can be voided using the Card Query section of the Transaction Administration.
| Level | Description |
| -1 | Allow AVS Level to be set dynamically. (Only set this level in your FraudTrak or FraudTrak2 admin area only.) |
| 0 | Anything Goes. No transaction is rejected based on AVS. |
| 1 | Requires a match of Zip Code or Street Address, but will allow cards where the address information is not available. (Only ‘N’ responses will be voided) |
| 2 | The level is no longer supported. |
| 3 | Requires match of Zip Code or Street Address. All other transactions voided; including those where the address information is not available. |
| 4 | Requires match of Street Address or an exact match (Zip Code and Street Address). All other transactions voided; including those where the address information is not available. |
| 5 | Requires exact match of Zip Code and Street Address. All other transactions voided; including those where the address information is not available. |
| 6 | 6 Requires exact match of Zip Code and Street Address, but will allows cards where the address information is not available. |
