Description
The international and domestic alphabetic AVS codes are the Visa standard AVS codes. CyberSource maps the standard AVS return codes for other types of credit cards, including American Express cards, to the Visa standard AVS codes.
AVS is considered either domestic or international, depending on the location of the bank that issued the customer’s credit card:
When the bank is in the U.S., the AVS is domestic.
When the bank is outside the U.S., the AVS is international.
You should be prepared to handle both domestic and international AVS result codes:
For international cards, you can receive domestic
AVS codes in addition to the international AVS codes.
For domestic cards, you can receive international
AVS codes in addition to the domestic AVS codes.
The numeric AVS codes are created by CyberSource and are not standard Visa codes. These AVS codes can be returned for any card type.
