AVS Declinel and Pre-Auth Approval

[tragichip]

Just wondering if anyone knows what AVS code would provide an approval on a pre-auth .. .but a decline on the actual transaction itself.  I have come across one example ... that being 'N' ... but wanted to make sure that that was the only one.

Thanks.

Peace.

Do you mean it approved on Authorization Only, but declined on Prior Authorization and Capture?

This is what the Transaction Status was:

Declined (Authorization with the card issuer was successful but the transaction was declined due to an address or ZIP code mismatch with the address on file with the card issuing bank based on the settings in the Merchant Interface.)

This has happened a couple of times for us and it was always an AVS of 'N' ... just wanted to make sure no other result would cause this scenario.

Thanks.

Peace.

Look like in your merchant account settings, it set to reject AVS response of 'N', login to your account and check your settings.
