API reference

Learn about parameters that you can use in your 3D Secure request.

Adyen is no longer developing the Classic API integration

This page is for the Classic API (/authorise) integration, which we no longer accept new integrations with.

We strongly recommend switching to the newer 3D Secure on Checkout API integration.

To support 3D Secure 2 authentication on your Classic integration, use v40 or later of the following endpoints:

3D Secure 2 additional parameters

In addition to the regular parameters you provide on your payment request, we recommend that you provide all available information to increase the likelihood of achieving a frictionless flow and a higher authorisation rate.

Some of these objects might be mandatory for the issuer and the card scheme, and not providing them in your payment request might result in a failed authentication. Click the object names to see all the parameter descriptions for that object.
