Country consistency control
This setting allows to control the consistency between:
- The buyer’s country (information transmitted by the merchant in his or her payment form or in the Web Service request).
- The country of the payment method (information provided by the payment gateway).
- The country of the buyer’s IP address (information provided by the payment gateway).
What are the cases that allow to validate this control?
- The 3 countries are identical.
- The country of the payment method and the buyer’s country are identical.
- The country of the payment method and the country of the IP address are identical.
All the other cases lead to a KO control.
When the merchant enables this verification, he or she must make sure to transmit the information about the buyer’s country. Without it, the check cannot be performed.
To configure this control:
- Open the Settings > Risk assessment > [your shop name] menu.
- Search for the box Country consistency control.
- Select the control mode from the drop-down list.
By default, No control is selected. No checks are carried out in this case. To activate this setting, you absolutely must choose a control mode from the list (informative or blocking).
- Click Save to take the configuration changes into account.
