Authorise a payment with 3D Secure 2 authenticated data

Before you begin

Before you can start accepting 3D Secure 2 authenticated transactions on browsers or in-app, make sure that you:

1. Sign up for an Adyen test account at https://www.adyen.com/signup. 
2. Get your API Key. Save a copy as you'll need it for API calls you make to the Adyen payments platform.
3. Install one of our Libraries to connect with the Adyen APIs. For more information on these steps, refer to Get started with Adyen.

Get authentication data

To authorise a 3D Secure 1 authenticated payment, you need the following data:

• authenticationResponse: From the paResponse from the issuer's Access Control System.
• directoryResponse: The enrollment response from the VERes message from the Directory Server.
• cavv: The authentication value for the 3D Secure authentication session. The returned value is a base64-encoded 20-byte array.
• cavvAlgorithm: The CAVV Algorithm used during the authentication.
• xid: The transaction identifier assigned by the Directory Server (base64 encoded, 20 bytes in a decoded form).
• eci: The electronic commerce indicator.

To authorise a 3D Secure 2 authenticated payment, you need the following data:

• authenticationValue: The value for the 3D Secure 2 authentication session. The returned value is a Base64-encoded 20-byte array.
• dsTransID: The unique transaction identifier assigned by the DS to identify a single transaction.
• eci: The electronic commerce indicator.
• messageVersion: The value should be 2.1.0.

Send a payment authorisation request with 3D Secure authentication data

Make a POST /authorise request and include mpiData and additionalData objects:

• selectedBrand: Set this value to the scheme that authenticated the payment. For example, if you are authorising for a co-branded Cartes Bancaires card, set it to either visa or cartebancaire depending on which scheme performed the authentication. If the brand is not specified, this can result in potential authorisation refusals for co-branded card products.

• mpiData: Object that contains the authenticated data.

  For 3D Secure 1:

  • authenticationResponse: From the paResponse from the issuer access control system.
  • directoryResponse: The enrollment response from the VERes message from the directory server.
  • cavv: The authentication value for the 3D Secure authentication session. The returned value is a Base64-encoded 20-byte array.
  • cavvAlgorithm: The CAVV algorithm used during the authentication.
  • xid: The transaction identifier assigned by directory server (base64 encoded, 20 bytes in a decoded form).
  • eci: The electronic commerce indicator.

  For 3D Secure 2:

  • cavv: The authenticationValue from your 3D Secure 2 provider.
  • dsTransID: The unique transaction identifier assigned by the DS to identify a single transaction.
  • eci: The electronic commerce indicator.
