1 week ago I just asked about this again on the forums because I forgot I raised this issue up here so long ago.
Any way for us to check the AVS response on a credit card? In this day and age with so much fraud, it seems silly not to display what the AVS and CVV response is. Our store does background checks on customers whose AVS fails but still gets authorized by the module.
Unless you tell me that your module will not authorize a card unless it passes the AVS (and therefore, that's the reason why it's not displayed), then we really need to know what the response is so we can properly vet the customer.
IN THE MEANTIME, is that information recorded in the debug log files for me to check?
Hi Cindy - I mentioned this in our Skype message but figured I'd put it here in the GitHub.
It would be great if you could display the AVS and CVV response. Some of our products seem higher in fraud purchases, and they usually result in failed AVS responses. Perhaps have that display either in the comments box, or in the AJAX pop up window that you display when clicking for more details on the Credit Card transaction.
This is especially helpful to us vendors who use the AUTHorization method (instead of Final Sale). The downside to final sale is that if we have to refund a transaction that didn't pass AVS, we do not get the original PayPal Fee refunded. So it's more cost effective for us to only AUTHORIZE the transaction, review the AVS, and then approve (Final Sale) the transaction when we are confident it's legit.
