UPS Address Verification Added to Interchange Online Store
3/22/05
A client with a large volume store was having difficulty with incorrect addresses on orders from their Interchange On-line Store. Down Home Consulting integrated UPS's Address Verification to the checkout to verify and give customers the opportunity to select the proper address.
The project included writing a Perl class to communicate with UPS, writing a Interchange User Tag to communicate with the store and modifying the checkout pages to allow the customer to select the proper address if it fails verification. After the customer completes the checkout, the address verification results is recorded in a special fraud detection database.
