Testing Capability with TestLabs

Achieve seamless end-to-end testing capability for your 3DS2 implementation with GPayments' TestLabs — providing EMVCo-compliant ACS, Mobile SDK, and Directory Server products.

Backwards Compatibility

3DS2 Enrolment Check for 3DS1 Compatibility

ActiveServer implements a 3DS2 enrolment check API to enable backwards compatibility with your 3DS1 systems. ActiveServer caches the BIN ranges of cards enrolled in 3D Secure 2. Before each authentication, the API call determines whether the given card supports 3D Secure 2 — if not, you may fall back to an existing 3D Secure 1 MPI implementation. This ensures compatibility with any 3D Secure 1 MPI on the market, and is crucial for merchants to obtain liability shift on 3D Secure 1 before liability shift for 3D Secure 2 is activated, or to adhere to regional mandates.

Flexible Deployment to Suit Your Infrastructure

Whether you need a fully managed hosted service or on-premise control, ActiveServer adapts to your operational requirements.

Hosted Service

Enterprise-level hosted solution for fraud prevention, with secure multi-tenancy ActiveServer cluster hosted on a world-leading cloud provider.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D Secure (3DS)?
3D Secure is an authentication protocol developed by EMVCo that adds a layer of identity verification to card-not-present transactions. When a cardholder makes an online purchase, 3DS allows the card issuer to authenticate the transaction — confirming the person making the payment is the genuine cardholder. This reduces fraud and, crucially, shifts chargeback liability from the merchant or acquirer to the issuer when authentication succeeds.
What is frictionless authentication?
Frictionless authentication occurs when the issuer's risk engine determines — based on transaction data, device fingerprinting, and behavioural signals — that no additional cardholder challenge is needed. The transaction is authenticated silently in the background without interrupting the checkout experience. EMV 3DS 2.x dramatically increased frictionless rates compared to 3DS 1.0 by sharing far richer transaction context with the issuer.
How does 3DS 2.x reduce chargeback liability?
When a transaction is successfully authenticated using 3DS 2.x, liability for fraud chargebacks shifts from the merchant and acquirer to the card issuer. This is known as liability shift. Without 3DS, merchants and acquirers bear the cost of fraud-related chargebacks. With successful 3DS authentication, that cost transfers to the issuer — directly reducing financial exposure for the acquiring side of the payment chain.
Is 3DS 2.x mandatory for my payment business?
In many markets, 3DS 2.x compliance is effectively mandatory. The EU's Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) requires Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for most online card transactions, and 3DS 2.x is the primary mechanism for meeting this requirement. Visa, Mastercard, and other schemes have sunset 3DS 1.0 globally, making 3DS 2.x the only compliant option for card-not-present authentication.
What is the difference between 3DS 1.0 and 3DS 2.x?
3DS 1.0 was a basic authentication layer that frequently triggered pop-up challenges, had high abandonment rates, and shared minimal transaction data. EMV 3DS 2.x (covering 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 protocol versions) shares over 100 data elements with the issuer, enabling accurate risk-based decisions, dramatically higher frictionless rates, native mobile SDK support, and biometric challenge flows. 3DS 1.0 has been retired by all major card schemes.
