Informational Message Examples

Add a brief message adjacent to your final buy button on your checkout page to inform customers that they may be prompted to provide their authentication password or to enroll in the authentication program for their card.

The following examples may be used, but consult your specific card authentication program to make sure you conform to their messaging requirements.

Example 41

To help prevent unauthorized use of <card_type> cards online, <your_business_name> participates in <card_authentication_program>.

When you submit your order, you may receive a <card_authentication_program> message from your <card_type> card issuer. If your card or issuer does not participate in the program, you will be 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 42

Your card may be eligible for enrollment or is enrolled in the 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 may prompt you for your password before you complete your purchase.
