Skipping authentication (3DS2) requires additional risk checks due to it’s risky nature.
Xendit recommends to perform authentication (3DS2) when the shopper is present, to prevent potential chargebacks.
To enable optional authentication, request Optional 3DS on the Xendit dashboard.
Perform a card payment without 3D Secure. Useful for trusted transactions, or transactions on cards for which authentication (3DS2) is not available. You will not be able to detect whether a card supports 3DS2 before attempting to do 3DS2.
Do take into account that cards from Canada, The United Kingdom and the United States sometimes do not support 3DS2, for these cards we suggest adding billing details to be verified by the address verification service.
