P. O. Boxes and Authorize.Net trouble

Post by dbreyley » Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:01 am

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

On orders where the user enters a billing address with a P.O. Box we are most of the time getting a rejection from authorize.net
If the user enters
PO Box # - failure
P O Box # - failure
P.O. Box # - success

Are the periods actual that much of a problem?
Do I need to write code to transform PO or P O to P.O. ?

Could it be that Authorize.NET is configured not to allow PO Box addresses. P.O. Box (with periods) may be working because of their failure to detect that its a PO box address?
