By default, Merchant Solutions sets your store to perform real-time authorization of credit card orders when you have online payment processing set up through your merchant bank account. Enabling real-time authorization allows you to check AVS and CVV information submitted by your customers and run AVS Rules and CVV Rules as part of the Risk Tools feature.
