What's 3D Secure 2?

3D Secure 2 provides seamless ways to authenticate customers while addressing the shortcomings of the previous 3DS 1.0.2. It incorporates biometric and token validation support and streamlines the experience using frictionless authentication.

Enabling 3D Secure 2 in the Paysafe SDK

When integrating the 3D Secure 2 API, you would typically follow these steps:

  1. Collect the Device Fingerprint ID.
  2. Authenticate the customer.
  3. Complete an issuer challenge (conditional).

Instead, the Paysafe SDK handles these steps for you in the background, requiring minimal work to integrate 3D Secure 2.

Integration involves configuring the card brand for the 3DS2 account in the Admin Portal and a 3D Secure 2 enabled Paysafe Merchant Account Number.

Once 3D Secure 2 is integrated, all the communication with the 3D Secure 2 API and SDK is handled in the background, and you receive a handle ready for payment.
