The following is used for API testing. Enter the exact details from the table to return a Matched Value Outcome as shown.

* The Pay360 Authorisation System automatically declines and reverses transactions depending on the AVS CSC results. Declined transactions won't complete, whereas auth returns with an Auth code.

This emulates what happens in the Live environment. Response codes or messages are seen if making a payment directly against an API – front-end systems, such as the Payment Portal, won't display the specific error, but show either a payment declined or a system error page.

Details on the reason for payment declined should never be known to the cardholder.

** Only the numerics of a postcode are used when performing Address Verification – when submitting a payment using a payment API, only the numerics are to be provided in the request.

For payments taken via a Payment Portal, a full postcode needs to be entered, but the specific letters used are irrelevant.

For example, if the table above lists the postcode as “46”, a tester could enter either “OL4 6BT” or “SK4 6KL” and both would result in a match.

AVS/CSC results are encoded in a six-digit string as follows:

E.g. 211000 => CSC matched, address and postcode not checked.
