Adyen 3D Secure Payment Authentication

3D Secure is an authentication protocol that provides an additional layer of verification for card transactions. 3D Secure allows you to comply with authentication regulations for online payments such as PSD2 SCA, and to make use of the liability shift.

❗️

3D Secure 1

There is currently two different versions of 3DS, 3D Secure 1 and 3D Secure 2. Please review the Adyen documentation for further details on the different workflows.

Card schemes and issuers will stop supporting 3D Secure 1 in 2022 and 2023.

Liability Shift Rules

Aurora will only report using the statuses which are returned from the Adyen payment provider. Aurora does NOT perform any internal validation.

For example, status such as "Attempt Only" can only be encountered where specific card issuer responses are returned to Adyen. Due to the complex liability shifting rules that each card issuer implement, please refer to the Adyen documentation for a detailed breakdown on how these are formulated.
