2 possible solutions: 1. With authorize.net you can validate just the 5 digit zip code. That way, even if they mistype part of the address, it still gets authorized and goes through.
2. Use an address validation software to correct the address before it is sent to authorize.net. This is the approach that we took. We used ZP4/DPV (http://www.semaphorecorp.com/cgi/zp4.html) which costs $150 every 2 months and runs on our servers so we were able to scrub all of our current addresses and validate all new incoming addresses. Good luck!

I bought some goods using 90% of my credit once, and the merchant stuffed up the paperwork and we couldn't put the paperwork through again for two weeks. I couldn't find anyone in the VISA system who could tell me how the authorisation could be cancelled so a new one could be issued. Thats the way Visa and Mastercard at least do it. Not sure about the other cards.
