3D Secure

3D Secure is an additional security layer for online card transactions. 3D Secure provides an extra layer of protection for your business and customers for their online purchases. 3D Secure deters unauthorised card use and helps you to reduce fraudulent activity and chargebacks.

Merchants who use Shopping cart plugins must provide their 3D Secure credentials when configuring the plugin. Failing to do so may result in transactions being declined.
