AVS Codes for
Visa Platform Connect

When you populate billing street address 1 and billing street address 2,
Visa Platform Connect
 concatenates the two values. If the concatenated value exceeds 40 characters, 
Visa Platform Connect
 truncates the value at 40 characters before sending it to
Visa
 and the issuing bank. Truncating this value affects AVS results and therefore might also affect risk decisions and chargebacks.
