Authorize.net: E00027 AVS Billing Address mismatch

What This Means

This error means that Authorize.net is declining the transaction because of an AVS mismatch.
The address provided does not match billing address of cardholder.

Note: ‘E00027’ is returned in many cases where Authorize.net declines the payment.
In cases where form fields for validation are triggered, Authorize.Net will send you an email with details on which filter was triggered.

Check within your Authorize.Net web interface for specific declines and reports on specific filters that stopped the payment from going through at Reports >> Transaction Detail Reports or Search >> Suspicious/Unsettled transactions.

Suggested Next Steps

1. Check the customer's information in your payment gateway to determine if the payment simply needs to be updated or retried.

2. Compare the saved information for your customer in your payment gateway with the billing address for the Customer.

3. If you’ve setup AVS in Authorize.net and you are still getting a declined payment for AVS mismatch, you may need to adjust your AVS settings.

• Start by determining the AVS response code for the payment in question.
  • The AVS response code will correspond to one of the checkboxes in your AVS settings.
  • Find the transaction in your Authorize.net Gateway by visiting Reports > Transaction Detail, then search for the transaction.
  • Select the transaction detail to review the Address Verification Status under the "Authorization Information" section:
  • According to the AVS status, you may want to uncheck additional checkboxes in your AVS settings in order to accept the payment and others like it.
• Once you've adjusted your AVS settings in Authorize.net, you may want to simply retry processing the Scheduled Order (see "After Resolving This Issue" below).

4. You may need to request that your customer add a new payment method if you are unable to update the Billing Address in your Authorize.net CIM for them.

5. You can update the Billing Address for the Customer in QPilot by visiting your Site Dashboard > Customers > Edit Customer. However, for saved payment methods, most payment gateways will require that your customer add a new payment method in order to update the billing address used with that payment method.

Adding A New Payment Method for Your Customer?

If you are adding a new payment method for your customer directly to your payment gateway (manually), ensure that you edit the failed Scheduled Order, add a new payment method, and copy the required billing information directly to their Scheduled Order including:

• Gateway CustomerId
• Gateway PaymentId
• Billing Address
• Payment Method Description (optional, but strongly suggested because it is used to display the payment method to your customer)

After Resolving The Issue

Once this issue is resolved, you should use the action to Restart Processing the Failed Scheduled Order.
