Transaction IP Velocity Filter

The Transaction IP Velocity Filter enables you to limit the number of transactions received from one IP address per hour. You can also use the IP Address Blocking filter alongside this filter to block transactions from certain IP addresses.
Multiple transactions that are part of the same order do not trigger this filter.
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.
  • If you select
    Authorize and hold for review
     as the filter action, you should approve or void held transactions within 72 hours.
  • 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.
