from what i understand of the credit card system, the name featured on the card is not checked at all -- at least that's the way it works with our Authorize.net

from what i understand of the credit card system, the name featured on the card is not checked at all -- at least that's the way it works with our Authorize.net install.
if this is true for everyone, that means that the person who decided to implement the system to "check your name" is in for a big surprise when they realize any name will work with a valid credit card.
someone please correct me if i'm wrong...
- coderdude 16y agoYou might be right about that. The only information check I've encountered that consistently seems to matter is the zip code.
- drusenko 16y agoLooks like I'm right: http://www.thesunchronicle.com/articles/2010/07/04/news/7630031.txt http://www.thesunchronicle.com/articles/2010/07/04/news/7630... AVS checks zip code and/or the number portion of your street address depending on how you interpret the response. CVV2 check obviously works as intended. And our experience has been that when CVV2 is checked, sometimes the expiration date will be checked (although w/o CVV2 check expiration date is similarly meaningless). I'm far from an expert here, so somebody else can probably clarify a bit more.
