3D Secure is a fraud defence tool offered worldwide by major card networks like Visa, MasterCard, and AMEX, branded as Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode, and AMEX SafeKey.
Transactions processed using the 3D Secure process shifts the liability of a chargeback from you, the business owner, onto the card issuing bank.
Must know:
- For transactions to be processed using 3D Secure, the consumer and their issuing bank would need to opt in to the service.
- Ensure that your integration is set up to support 3D Secure. If your integration does not support 3D Secure and the service gets enabled, transactions may fail. You can review how to set up 3D Secure here.
