3D Secure best practices
On-page frame rather than a pop-up
Yes, there is a fear of CC information being shared with you as the merchant. But for many validation approaches, they still prefer directly embed the frame into your checkout page.
This way, you shorten the checkout process with better UX.
Educate customers about 3D Secure
Both Visa and MasterCard SecureCode have an introduction you can use in your checkout that helps the client who doesn’t know what’s happening to comprehend the advantages of the plan.
You can create your own duplicate on the off chance that you wish. However, ensure you convey the expanded security the cardholder will appreciate while selected the program in the simple-to-understand language (and don’t design words like professional ones).
In addition, you want to include the option (open in a new window) to learn more about this. Signal the informing where it will be generally seen, near the casing or Submit Order button.
Consider sectional implementation
You should consider canceling the 3DS for certain transactions where the conversion rate loss outweighs the benefit.
Utilize a guidelines based methodology that considers the nation, currency, and estimation of the exchange. In the event that the hazard is esteemed to be low founded on these standards, bypassing the check procedure could expand transformation rates.
Be that as it may, the 3DS convention was imagined to protect the client’s cash, so this progression ought to be considered cautiously.

3DS is not the only weapon to prevent you from fraudulent behavior. We’ll talk about more ways to manage this risk in the upcoming articles.
