Postal code: store settings

The steps below describe how to enable/disable the "Postal code" field, which can display as a payment field in the virtual terminal "Payment" window through which you perform Purchases (see Purchase with credit card: manual entry), Preauthorizations (see Preauthorization with credit card: manual entry), and independent Refunds (see Independent Refund with credit card: manual entry) in your Moneris Go portal store. Postal code capture is used for address verification.11Address verification service (AVS) is a fraud-prevention feature that enables the card issuer to compare the street number, street name, and postal code data entered during a transaction with the corresponding data that appears on the cardholder's statement. It is strongly recommend that you include AVS details with all of your manually entered (keyed) transactions (MOTO/ecommerce). Doing so will ensure transactions are qualifying at the best possible interchange rate and may minimize costs to accept credit cards. If AVS data are not present, the transaction may be assessed a higher interchange fee. AVS is not supported for UnionPay cards.

Access your Moneris Go portal store's payment settings (see Store settings: payments).

On the "Store settings" page (shown below), click on a "Postal code" radio button:

Click on the Save button.

When the "Payment settings updated" response displays, the operation is complete.
