If you use Smart Authorization to evaluate the risk of your orders, you receive factor codes that show which parts of an order appeared to be risky. You receive factor codes for any order that shows risk, even if Smart Authorization does not decline the order.
The following table describes each factor code that Smart Authorization can return. To use Smart Authorization, define your settings in the Business Center. For detailed information about how to choose which factor codes result in a Smart Authorization decline, see
