Initiate Authentication
Request returning which payer authentication mechanism (e.g. 3-D Secure authentication version 2, 3-D Secure authentication version 1, RuPay PaySecure) the gateway recommends you to use for this order.
Where both 3-D Secure Authentication version 1 and version 2 are available the gateway returns 3-D Secure authentication version 2.
You must provide details about the card, the purpose of the authentication (e.g payment or card registration only), and how the payer will interact with the authentication process (e.g. via the browser or mobile app).
You can provide the actual card details, or a gateway token, scheme token or device payment details.
The response will indicate, if payer authentication is available. You can either
- only proceed with the Authenticate Payer operation where the response indicates that payer authentication is available (transaction.authenticationStatus=AUTHENTICATION_AVAILABLE ) or
- (to simplify your integration) always proceed with the Authenticate Payer operation. Where no payer authentication is available, the payer will simply be redirected back to your website.
When using a payment session build your integration as follows:
- When you create the payment session, populate it with all the transaction data required for the Authenticate Payer operation.
- As soon as you have the card number, invoke the Initiate Authentication operation with the payment session identifier. It is recommended that you perform this asynchronously, so that the payer can continue filling out payment details.
- When the payers clicks PAY, update the payment session with the additional data entered by the payer and invoke the Authenticate Payer operation with the payment session identifier.
- On your website, receive the POST callback from the gateway following the Authenticate Payer operation and submit the payment for processing by the gateway with the payment session identifier.
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.
Authentication
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.

Comma Separated Enumeration
OPTIONAL
A comma separated list of the payer authentication methods that you will accept for this payment.
You only need to provide a value if you want to restrict the authentication methods you will accept.
If you do not specify a value, then the gateway treats it as if you will accept all available authentication methods.
If you accept both 3DS2 and 3DS1, then the gateway will use 3-D Secure version 2 if supported by the issuer and fallback to use 3-D Secure version 1 if it is not.
Value must be one or more comma separated members of the following list. The values are case sensitive.
3DS1
3-D Secure Version 1

You only need to provide this value if you want to be notified on completion of the 3DS Method call.

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 in the AUTHENTICATE_PAYER request for this transaction.
Note:
- • If you set this value to ADD_CARD or MAINTAIN_CARD, then set order.amount to zero and order.currency to any currency you support.
- • If the authentication scheme that applies to the account does not support the purpose that you have requested, this call will return an authenticationStatus of AUTHENTICATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
- • If you set this to REFRESH_AUTHENTICATION then when you perform the subsequent Authenticate Payer operation you must provide details of the original authentication, either by providing the authentication data explicitly via the fields customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.acsTransactionId, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.authenticationToken, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.time, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.type and customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.dsTransactionId, or by providing the gateway reference of the original authentication operation in customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.transactionId.

Do this if you make business decisions based on data from the session and wish to ensure that the same data is being used for the request operation.
To use optimistic locking, record session.version when you make your decisions, and then pass that value in session.version when you submit your request operation to the gateway.

Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).
For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction).

For example:
For Apple Pay - this is the PKPaymentToken.paymentData value.

You only need to provide a value if you want to restrict the authentication methods you will accept.
If you do not specify a value, then the gateway treats it as if you will accept all available authentication methods.

If you do not provide a value, the gateway will use PAYMENT_TRANSACTION as the default.
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 in the AUTHENTICATE_PAYER request for this transaction.
Note:
- • If you set this value to ADD_CARD or MAINTAIN_CARD, then set order.amount to zero and order.currency to any currency you support.
- • If the authentication scheme that applies to the account does not support the purpose that you have requested, this call will return an authenticationStatus of AUTHENTICATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
- • If you set this to REFRESH_AUTHENTICATION then when you perform the subsequent Authenticate Payer operation you must provide details of the original authentication, either by providing the authentication data explicitly via the fields customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.acsTransactionId, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.authenticationToken, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.time, customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.type and customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.dsTransactionId, or by providing the gateway reference of the original authentication operation in customer.account.history.issuerAuthentication.transactionId.

PAYMENT_TRANSACTION
Authentication performed when of processing a card payment.
REFRESH_AUTHENTICATION
Authentication performed in order to obtain a new authentication token to replace one previously obtained for the order which is no longer valid (for example, because the order amount has changed in the time between originally performing authentication and submitting the financial transaction).
Information you can use to optimize and initiate the user experience for payer authentication.
Put the HTML returned in field authentication.redirect.html in your payment page.
- Initiate Authentication response: If supported by the issuer's Access Control Server (ACS), the HTML will submit a 3DS method call in your hidden iframe to the ACS. This call gathers additional browser information prior to the Authenticate Payer request and helps facilitate the transaction risk assessment by the issuer's ACS.
- Authenticate Payer response: If required, the HTML will redirect the payer's browser to the issuer's ACS to complete the challenge.
Alternatively, you can use the details provided in the authentication.redirect.customizedHtml parameter group to create the required payer experience yourself. In this case you must follow the EMVCo specification. If a method call is required, the Initiate Authentication response provides the URL and POST data for the method call. If a challenge is required, the Authenticate Payer response provides the ACS URL and challenge request.
If, instead of simply using authentication.redirect.html, you want to create the required user experience yourself, you can customize it using the parameters provided in this group.
See EMVCo specification for details about how to use the fields provided in this parameter group.
