Question for Netbilling Others may benefit
 

I have a customer who wants to use a Visa gift card to join my site.

he cant join because it has no address

how do you make that work without disabling address verification?

Thanks

if you are running a recurring model why would you want someone who cant be rebilled?

if you are smart you would block giftcard and easily chargebackable BIN's

hey he wants to join for a month I will take his 30 bucks

as it is I have it pretty tight, but it does make sense that some people wanna use giftcards....it doesnt show up on any statement, its anonymous, no credit required etc.

I think - the name, addy, and zip can be fake. It will post through with the complete form then simply auth off the card. Or maybe that's pre-paid cards... Not sure - but worth a try.

He has to call the number on the back to find out how or who it's registered to...

And get the street number and zip code...

if u wanted to do this, u'd turn off AVS checks and tell him to fill in bogus info. i'd turn it back on as quickly as possible.

this is found in your NB admin

have you tried to process the transaction manually through your nb admin, disabling address verification?

If you don't have a billing address for the card, you can disable AVS for this customer only by using the "Create Recurring" virtual terminal and check the box to "Disable Address Verification".

Feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions.

I know the Amex gift cards we give employees will pass AVS for *any* address typed in. Or at least they used to.

E.g. netbilling passes whatever a customer happens to provide to Amex, and amex replies with an AVS success no matter what information was provided.

I would have assumed other gift cards were similar?

Bump for Netbilling.

Ok the most reasonable answer I got so far is to have the customer call the service number on the card and give them an address to associate with the card.

No way Im disabling AVS nor am I going to ask for the info to process it manually.

If netbilling has another solution Im all ears. The transaction fails because of the address ...so says the customer

Look up the failed transaction, and process it manually.
You can override the denials.

I have no idea why any intelligent program owner would even want to allow the use of those cards... especially a PPS program.
