3-D Secure – Simple payment authorisation

3D-Secure provides an additional security measure for customers and merchants. Customers with 3D-Secure activated on their credit card will be redirected via HTML FORM POST to a webpage hosted by their bank and asked to enter a PIN, verifying their identity.

Linking to eWAY

If you use Rapid 3.0, no additional integration is required.

Below are the specifications for using 3-D Secure, including descriptions of the fields sent to and returned by our payment gateway.

Sample code is available from within MYeWAY, along with many other free resources for our development partners.

The gateway URL for 3D Secure Shared Payments is  https://www.eway.com.au/gateway_3d/payment.asp or 3D Secure is also integrated into Rapid 3.0
