What is 3D Secure?
3D Secure is an authentication protocol designed to reduce the risk of fraud in online credit and debit card transactions. It adds an additional layer of security by requiring cardholders to enter a unique code or password before completing the payment process. This ensures that the transaction is authorized by the legitimate cardholder, protecting both businesses and customers from potential fraudulent activities.
Step 1: Sign in to your Cartasi Account
Start by signing in to your Cartasi account using your login credentials. If you don’t have an account, create one by following the registration process provided by Cartasi.
Step 2: Access Merchant Tools
