Address Verification Service (AVS) is a system established by the credit card processing associations to verify customer billing addresses submitted with e-commerce payment transactions. Though AVS does not verify the legitimacy of a transaction, merchants can analyze the AVS (Address Verification System) results to determine the validity of a customer-provided billing address.
Note: Cybersource only includes AVS results in the response message provided by the issuing bank.
For guidance implementing AVS, refer to our Credit Card Services Guide using Simple Order API or REST API
