Hi,

Both the error message and what is said about that message that I could find online point at an issue in the settings of the merchant account:
[ community.developer.authorize.net/t5/Int...D-message/td-p/33975](https://community.developer.authorize.net/t5/Integration-and-Testing/Please-clarify-the-meaning-of-this-DECLINED-message/td-p/33975)
Please check that the merchant account is not configured to reject certain card code responses.
From what I understand this comes from the AVS settings of the account:
[ support.authorize.net/authkb/index?page=content&amp;id=A649](https://support.authorize.net/authkb/index?page=content&id=A649)
It's strange because Authorize.net support should have been able to tell you that much.
So I don't understand why they're just saying that your settings are fine.

I have reached back out to Authorize.net with your response, and they seemed to have found a solution ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png ";)")
