  • Ecommerce - Online transactions where the cardholder is present (online). For better authorisation rates, we recommend sending the card security code (CSC) along with the request.
  • ContAuth - Card on file and/or subscription transactions, where the cardholder is known to the merchant (returning customer). If the shopper is present (online), you can supply also the CSC to improve authorisation (one-click payment).

  • POS - Point-of-sale transactions where the shopper is physically present to make a payment using a secure payment terminal.
