2.14: Require Method URL

This test ensures that the merchant is allowing sufficient time (10 seconds) for the issuer to complete device data collection.

Card Numbers

The Method URL test runs before the authentication request to check how well your system implements device data collection. The enrollment check of the card account should not start until after the device data collection response is received. This test helps to ensure that there is enough time to collect the device data and to transmit it. This test attempts to collect the nine-digit BIN of the card number and checks that the delay between the DDC request and the response is at least seven seconds long. Test failure occurs when fewer than nine digits of the BIN are collected or the delay between the DDC request and response is too short in duration.
Do not run this test when your system does not collect device data. When device data is not collected, an older version of the EMV 3-D Secure protocol is automatically used, and the transaction is automatically assessed as a higher risk.

Action

If your device data collection method implements correctly and EMV 3-D Secure Method processing occurs, the test transaction produces a Frictionless Success result. A failure is indicated when PARes status =
C
. With the failure, a warning message opens to explain the cause of the test failure.
