Visa Secure

Visa Secure is the authentication service in the Visa card network that uses the 3-D Secure protocol to authenticate customers at checkout. This authentication is a two-step process. First, the cardholder is authenticated by 3-D Secure. Then, the transaction is authorized based on the 3-D Secure evaluation. This section explains how to authorize a card payment based on the 3-D Secure evaluation.
Before implementing Visa Secure, contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.
