AVS Settings API?

[riceboyler]

We have a bit of an odd requirement that we're trying to work through. For user experience reasons, we don't want to have to capture address information during our signup process, but we would like to enable AVS after the initial customer profile creation and initial charge.

Is there any kind of API hook that would allow us to change the settings of AVS?  Would this have to be a manual process?

There isn't a way to turn of/off on the AVS reject on the account.

But you can set it to accept "U"/"P"

On the AVS response, http://developer.authorize.net/guides/AIM/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#href=4_TransResponse...

Thanks for the response.  Is the "U"/"P" something that could be set per transaction? You sent me the response documentation, and I know we can check for it there, but we really need to be able to send what kind of AVS verification we'd like to do.

The only way you can set which one it valid per transaction is to read the avs response from the transaction and you code it to rejected/declined it.

The settings in merchant account is always on.
