How to Set Up AVS for Your Merchants’ TPNs
iPOSpays allows ISOs to configure Address Verification Service (AVS) settings for their merchants’ TPNs. AVS helps verify the billing address provided during a card transaction against the address on file with the card issuer, helping identify potential mismatches. This document explains how to configure AVS settings for your merchants’ TPNs in the iPOSpays portal.
