X-Cart:3-D Secure Payment Authentication

3-D Secure™ is an XML-based protocol used as an added layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions.

X-Cart supports 3-D Secure™ transactions with the multiple credit card processors such as:

• AuthorizeNet: AIM,
• USAePay,
• Netbilling,
• eSelect plus,

Note: only Direct Post solution is supported now, Hosted Paypage is unavailable. eSelect plus also requires a PCI compliance certificate for Direct Post.

• Sage Pay VSP Direct,
• PSiGate XML interface.

Some of the credit card processors support 3-D Secure™ transactions through Cardinal Centinel® payment authentication platform, while others have integrated 3-D Secure™ and do not require any additional steps. All the settings that need to be adjusted are located on the corresponding payment method configuration pages.
