Authenticate Payer

Request to authenticate a payer, i.e. verify the identity of a cardholder. You can subsequently use the resulting authentication data when submitting a financial transaction request to prove that you have performed payer authentication.

You must first invoke the Initiate Authentication operation and where the response indicates that payer authentication is available, you must then invoke the Authenticate Payer operation with the same orderId and transactionId submitted on the Initiate Authentication operation.

To increase the likelihood of the authentication being successful, provide as much information about the payer and the transaction as possible.

If the information in the request is sufficient to allow the authentication scheme to confirm the payer's identity the response will include the authentication data (frictionless flow). Alternatively (challenge flow), it may be necessary for the payer to interact with the authentication scheme to confirm their identity (e.g. by providing a one-time password sent to them by their card issuer). In this case the response will contain an HTML excerpt that you must inject into your page. This will establish the interaction between the payer and the authentication scheme. After authentication has been completed the payer will be redirected back to your website using the URL provided by you in field authentication.redirectResponseUrl in the Authenticate Payer request.

If you are authenticating the payer when establishing a payment agreement with your payer for a series of recurring, installment or unscheduled payments you must provide details about the agreement in the agreement parameter group.

Usage Note

Using the Initiate Authenticate and Authenticate Payer operations for 3-D Secure authentication requires you to manage a variety of authentication flows and understand the 3-D Secure version 2 data flows as published by EMVCo.

A more simple alternatively is to use the gateway's threeDS.js library.

This operation requires authentication via one of the following methods:


  • Certificate authentication.
  • To authenticate to the API two additional NVP parameters must be supplied in the request. Provide 'merchant.<your gateway merchant ID>' in the apiUsername field and your API password in the apiPassword field.
