Crush Disputed Transactions for Your Card Not Present Business with 3D Secure.

If you process online payments, you've heard of 3D Secure. But what is it? In short, 3D Secure (sometimes called Visa Secure) is an additional authentication process created by Visa and MasterCard to add an additional layer of security for Card Not Present (CNP) merchants. Moreover, 3D Secure ties the financial authorization process with online authentication based on a three-domain model (3D). The three domains consist of:

  • Acquirer Domain (the bank and the merchant to which the money is being paid)
  • Issuer Domain (the bank which issued the card being used)
  • Interoperability Domain (Visa & MasterCard)

Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Secure

Everything you need to know about high-risk payment processing

3D Secure (also known as 3DS) is a payment authentication protocol designed to prevent credit card fraud during digital transactions. It adds an extra layer of security by requiring customer authentication such as a password, SMS code, fingerprint, or other biometrics before completing a credit card or debit card transaction. This improves payment security, fraud prevention, and consumer confidence, while also helping merchants remain compliant with the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) in the European Economic Area.
Although 3DS adds a step to the checkout process, improvements in usability, user interface, and technology (such as mobile app verification, digital wallets, and contactless payment options like Apple Pay) have streamlined the process. With strong customer authentication in place, consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty often increase because customers feel safer when shopping online or at a point of sale (POS).
3D Secure works with most major card schemes, including Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and Discover Card. It can be used for credit cards, debit cards, mobile payments, smart cards, and digital wallets. Whether a transaction is done via online shopping, wire transfer, automated clearing house (ACH), or retail POS terminals, 3DS ensures secure systems and reduces the risk of friendly fraud. PayKings utilizes 3D secure to help ensure your transactions are processed securely.
When a consumer makes a purchase, the issuing bank verifies the payment card number, card security code, and personal identification number (PIN), while the acquiring bank ensures compliance with interbank network rules. Both financial institutions work together through access control servers, encryption, and tokenization to validate the payment and protect payment transactions from fraud or phishing attacks.
Yes. Merchants using 3DS payment processing align with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, as well as PSD2 strong customer authentication rules in Europe. These technical standards ensure data security, encryption, and network tokenization, helping merchants meet regulatory compliance obligations across commerce in the U.S., Canada, and the European markets.
While there may be small costs such as an interchange fee, surcharge, or 3DS vendor fee, the long-term benefits include higher revenue stability, fewer chargebacks, and reduced losses from credit card fraud. By lowering the risks of friendly fraud, merchants often improve cash flow and increase profitability.
Yes. Modern 3D merchant services offer API integrations, webhooks, analytics, and payment solutions that work with shopping carts, invoicing software, mobile apps, and retail payment terminals. Whether you're using Magento, Shopify, or a custom JavaScript interface, 3DS can be added to enhance secure payment solutions without disrupting the workflow of your existing infrastructure. If you utilize PayKings 3D Secure is built into their payment processing saving you time looking for security solutions for your payment processing.
In addition to traditional passwords and PIN codes, 3D Secure leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and tokenization to detect suspicious payment transactions. These tools analyze payloads, algorithms, IP addresses, and data sharing patterns to spot fraud attempts in real time, strengthening fraud protection for both merchants and consumers.
Yes. 3D Secure supports omnichannel payments, covering retail POS transactions, online banking, shopping carts, digital wallets, and mobile phones. Whether consumers pay with smartphones, credit cards, or cryptocurrency, 3DS ensures secure payments across different goods and services while maintaining convenience and consumer trust.
3D Secure provides merchants with fraud prevention, data protection, secure payment processing, and regulatory compliance. It improves customer satisfaction, reduces disputes, safeguards revenue, and enhances brand reputation. For merchants operating across borders, 3DS also ensures compliance with Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) requirements, making it an essential tool for global commerce and financial institutions.
