Can you elaborate a bit?
When you say you're "blocking of bad postal codes" what setting specifically are you talking about?
stoic plume
of course! i mean invalid zip codes provided during checkout for AVS
so if a scammer were trying to use a card but provided the wrong zip it should check and fail? that's the desired outcome
stray roost
Right, but you said you have something enabled in the Dashboard to do that. What is enabled that is performing that validation?
stoic plume
there is a rule under "fraud and risk" called Block if Postal code verification fails which i have enabled
stray roost
Can you copy/paste the URL of the Dashboard view?
stoic plume
i'm sorry, https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/radar/rules?startDate=2022-05-03&endDate=2022-10-31
i was on the rules page
stray roost
Ah! Okay. Have you attempted to run createPaymentMethod with a bad postal code in order to verify it's working?
stray roost
Do you have an identical test-mode rule set up to test with?
Let me know how it goes!
stray roost
Ah, I believe you'll want to use the test card for failed zipcodes here if you're in a test environment: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#fraud-prevention
Specifically 4000000000000036

My apologies, I just reproduced on my end and you have to attempt the charge in live-mode with the live-mode Radar rule created, then use one of the test cards for simulating the failed transaction
stoic plume
oh lol, 😵💫
so the payment will be rejected if the postal code is blocked, correct? i think we'll be able to test that with no risk.
i will get back to you!
just want to make sure that we do not need to sign up for paid radar for this to work, right?
stray roost
That part I'm not 100% certain of, as I believe Radar will charge for each blocked transaction (though I'm not sure about pricing structure as this channel just handles the integration specifics). If you want to know more about pricing, I would reach out to our support folks: https://support.stripe.com/contact/email
stoic plume
hm, so we cannot predict the behavior of enabling this on live?
stray roost
I don't follow. What do you mean?
stoic plume
for instance, if we test on live with the card you sent for invalid zip will the payment be denied? i didn't understand what to expect
steady sage
Really sorry for the delay here, but you should be able to test this in test mode if you enable the Block if Postal code verification fails pre-made rule here:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/radar/rules
Then use the pm_card_avsFail test card
