Protect Your Sales & Reduce Online Fraud

With 3D Secure (3DS), you can rest assured knowing the transactions flowing through BlueSnap’s Global Payment Orchestration Platform are authenticated and validated to help you approve legitimate transactions. 3DS is designed to deliver frictionless payment authentication across all devices and supports features such as Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Combined, these tools will protect your business from fraudulent purchases online and meet compliance requirements like the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). This helps you secure more sales and allow your customers to make purchases with ease.

How 3DS Works

After a customer enters payment information, the merchant sends a request with the transaction’s details to the issuing bank to authenticate the transaction. Then, depending on the purchase value, location or other determining factors, cardholders may be asked for additional information to verify the purchase. This verification will come in the form of an SMS message to the cardholder so they can verify the transaction. This additional layer of security helps prevent unauthorized use of cards and protects merchants and issuers from exposure to fraud.

Liability Shift
