AVSOnly Method

Used to check the validity of the card without authorizing funds.

Syntax

 int AVSOnly();

Remarks

This method can be used if you wish to perform fraud (AVS and CVV) checks on a card, but don't actually wish to charge the customer. This is useful for pre-ordering an item that has not yet been released or is currently back- ordered. The card information is validated by the merchant, and when the item is later in stock and ships to the customer, an Sale transaction can be performed.

Note: If the Gateway does not support this method, the class will fails with an error.
