FAQ: 3D Secure 2.0 (EMV 3DS)

📘

Q: Why transaction on 3DS 1.0 is denied?

A: As we know, 3DS 1.0 is already outdated and is mostly decommissioned on mid-October 2022.
Some transactions using 3DS 1.0 may still be successfully authenticated, but it will potentially be denied/rejected by the Acquiring bank, Issuing bank, or Principle because 3DS 1.0 is not supported anymore.

Q: Why transaction on 3DS 1.0 is still successful?

A: As we know, 3DS 1.0 is already outdated and is mostly decommissioned on mid-October 2022. But some Acquiring banks and Principles (such as Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or Amex) still accept 3DS 1.0
To avoid sudden drop-off transactions if at any time 3DS 1.0 is no longer supported, we recommend Merchant to immediately use 3DS 2.0 implementation

📘

Q: Why transaction is still routed to 3DS 1.0?

A: There are some possible reasons why a transaction is still routed to 3DS 1.0:

  • Card issuer doesn't support 3DS 2.0
  • Acquiring Bank and Principle still doesn't support 3DS 2.0
  • Channel doesn't support 3DS 2.0 (resolved on Midtrans side by migrating to channels that support 3DS 2.0).
  • Timeout to 3DS Server or Principle during 3DS 2.0 Process, which will initiate fallback flow to 3DS 1.0
  • Merchant still creates token with secure parameter (Old Flow). To enable 3DS 2.0 Merchant needs to create token without secure parameter and send Authentication: true on Charge Request.

Q: After migrating to 3DS 2.0, why are there customer complaints of being stuck when opening the OTP Page?

A: There are some possible reasons:

  • Customer doesn't have a stable connection.
  • There is an issue on the OTP Page provided by the Issuing bank.
  • The service is currently degraded on Midtrans, please contact [email protected].
  • Merchant may not be following of our official guideline/docs for integration correctly.

Most of our merchants don't experience this issue by following our official guideline/docs for implementation on their native mobile apps, which can be implemented using the following options:

  • Using Midtrans mobile SDK UIKit flow.
  • Using Webview to display Snap integration.
  • Using Webview to display Core API web-based Card payment flow (PCI Lisence required).

Please refer to 3DS 2.0 Implementation
