AVS/CVV: Configuration and error codes

Problem Statement

This article helps you understand 'avs/cvv: configuration and error codes'.

Solution

Braintree's elaborate AVS and CVV settings allow you to reject transactions that do not meet your fraud filter criteria. You can access AVS settings via Settings >> Processing >> Basic Credit Card Fraud Tools >> AVS and >> CVV on your Braintree dashboard.

Note: Remember to make sure your settings on Chargebee's field configuration page match the settings you choose here.

If you are using the V2 checkout pages, navigate to Settings >> Customer-facing essentials >> Checkout and Self-Serve Portal >> Field Configurations (on the left panel) >> Card Information to choose what information would like to mark as mandatory.

On the other hand, if your site has V3 checkout pages, navigate to Settings >> Customer-facing essentials >> Checkout and Self-Serve Portal >> Fields >> Payments (on the left panel). Here you can enable the fields and set them as mandatory by clicking on the edit icon. Screenshot for your reference.

If a transaction fails to meet the configured AVS criteria, it is declined at Braintree before processing - this is called a gateway rejection. AVS gateway rejections are accompanied by error codes and responses that reflect which filter was tripped, find a list of them here.
