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 the
    x_customer_ip
    field to send the customer IP address for each transaction. If you use the
    Authorize.net
    API, use the
    customerIP
    field 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.
