How credit and cheque cards work
- During the checkout process, buyers are prompted to enter their credit or cheque card details.
- The 3D Secure page will then appear, if the issuing bank identifies the transactions as requiring authentication, then a challenge request will be presented to the buyer where they will need to authenticate themselves with their bank using either a password, one-time PIN (OTP) or via authentication in their banking application. If 3D Secure 2 is in use, then the cardholder won’t need to verify the payment.
- Buyers can then make the payment, which once processed will show in your Payfast or Paygate account.
