3DS
Points to be Aware of Regarding 3DS
3Dredirect URL (three_d_redirect_url) is essential to be submitted with the New Order request. This will allow the consumer to redirect to the merchant's Thank You page, after the 3D authentication process.
3D Secure is dynamic to each transaction and the processing bank determines if 3D Secure is needed on each transaction.
If 3DS is not needed, the transaction will process and we will return the OrderID and TransID in API response.
If 3DS is needed for the transaction, the Gateway will return to us the ACS URL, and you will receive a 101 response code indicating that you need to submit the 3DS call with the order Id in it to finalize the sale.
Once transaction is verified, the consumer is redirected to the 3Dredirect URL (Thank You) that was provided in NewOrder request.
