Regional IP Address Filter
The Regional IP Address Filter enables you to identify transactions from regions or
countries from which you do not want to accept transactions.
The list includes an Unresolved region in addition to the identifiable regions.
Transactions that cannot be resolved to a country fall into this category. In rare
circumstances, a valid IP address can fall into this category when technical
difficulties occur.
The Expand Geographic Region action does not function for the Unresolved region because
no countries are mapped to it.
Consider the following details when configuring this filter:
- This filter requires you to submit the customer IP address. If you use the Advanced Integration Method (AIM), use thex_customer_ipfield to send the customer IP address for each transaction. If you use theAuthorize.netAPI, use thecustomerIPfield to send the customer IP address for each transaction.
- Only IPv4 addresses are supported.
- When a transaction triggers more than one filter, and each filter is configured with a different action, the most severe filter action is applied to the transaction. For example, suppose that you configure filter A to decline all triggered transactions, and you configure filter B to authorize but hold all triggered transactions. If a transaction triggers both filters A and B, it is declined rather than authorized and held for review.
