Hi guys, hope you can help.

I'm currently have a great credit card processing setup, cascading etc. However one of my CC processors does not support AVS checking, I am looking to find a 3rd party who can do the AVS checking on behalf of my company. Does anybody know of such services?

I would be looking to pass about 5,000 transactions per month.

Kindest Regards

Are you looking to do a full AVS check? In that case, you should probably just change gateways because the third party setup will require you to send the cc number and address - why do it twice?

Also, using a 3rd pty service won't give you the cc fees discount that a validated AVS run txn should.

If you just want to confirm an address exists, you should check out UPS's address validation api.
