Informational Message Examples

Add a brief message next to the final buy button on your checkout page to inform customers that they might be prompted for their authentication password or to enroll in the authentication program for their card.
These examples might be used, but consult your specific card authentication program to make sure you conform to their messaging requirements.
Example
To help prevent unauthorized use of
<card_type>
cards online,
<your_business_name>
participates in
<card_authentication_program>
. When you submit your order, you might receive a
<card_authentication_program>
message from your
<card_type>
card issuer. If your card or issuer does not participate in the program, you are returned to our secure checkout to complete your order. Please wait while the transaction is processed. Do not click the
Back
button or close the browser window.
Example
Your card might be eligible Visa Secure, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express SafeKey, JCB J/Secure, Diners Club ProtectBuy, or Discover ProtectBuy programs. After you submit your order, your card issuer might prompt you to authenticate yourself. This authentication can be done through a one-time pass code sent to your phone or email, by biometrics, or some other form of authentication.
