What is AVS? 
 
Address Verification Service (AVS) is a fraud prevention service for card-not-present 
environments or non-swiped transactions. During a transaction, AVS compares the address 
information that the cardholder gives you to what is on record for that credit card number.  
 
PCCharge receives the AVS response and displays it after the transaction is processed. 
You can either make business decisions on individual transactions, or you can use the 
Address Verification Setup window and configure PCCharge to automatically filter out 
those transactions whose AVS responses are unacceptable to you. 
 
 
AVS Response Descriptions 
 
• 
Address and 5 Digit Match -- Street address and 5-digit ZIP code both match. 
• 
Exact Address and 9 Digit Match -- Street address and 9-digit ZIP code both match. 
• 
Address Match, No Zip Match -- Street address matches, but both 5-digit and 9-digit 
ZIP Code do not match.

ZIP code matches. 
•

ZIP code matches.

AVS Usage Scenarios 
 
The following usage scenarios will give you examples that you can use as a basis when 
configuring your own Address Verification Setup window.  
 
AVS Usage Scenario #1 
 
1. 
In this example, all the options in the Address Verification Setup window HAVE 
NOT 
been checked.  
 
2. 
You manually enter (not using a card reader) a $10 credit card sale transaction into 
PCCharge, including the incorrect Zip Code and Street information.   
 
3. 
PCCharge connects to your processing company and receives a Result of NOT 
CAPTURED
 and an AVS Response of No Match.  
 
WARNING:
  Even though the PCCharge  Result is NOT CAPTURED, the 
card's "limit-to-buy" has been reduced. This means that the customer's credit 
limit has been temporarily reduced by $10 (in this case), even though the 
transaction funds will not actually be transferred from the customer's account to 
your account. This scenario should illustrate the care that should be taken in 
unchecking options in the Address Verification Setup window. You must 
make a business decision on whether or not it is beneficial for you to uncheck 
some or all of these options.
