VERIFIED BY VISA/MASTERCARD 3-D SECURE CODE INITIATIVES

Are you looking for a tool to reduce your chargebacks while increasing your sales? Verified By Visa/MasterCard Secure can help address this area!

The Verified by Visa and MasterCard 3-D Secure initiatives are designed to eliminate fraudulent transactions and protect merchants from chargebacks. AspDotNetStorefront already supports these initiatives on selected gateways both in the U.S. and in U.K./EUR, to help provide a state of the art shopping system, which helps eliminate damaging fraud and chargebacks.

To implement this initiative, AspDotNetStorefront has partnered with Cardinal Commerce to provide a seamless integration of this capability into the shopping cart system. Information on Cardinal Commerce is given below. Subscription to the Cardinal Commerce Cardinal Centinel program is required to enable Verified By Visa/MasterCard Secure protection and works with the following AspDotNetStorefront payment gateways: Authorize.net, Paymentech, PayPal PayFlow PRO & Websites Payments Pro (UK only), USA ePay or Cybersource.

For U.K./EUR 3-D Secure support, those are built directly into the EUR gateways: ProtX, Cybersource.


OVERVIEW

Card-Not-Present (CNP) transactions present the greatest risk of fraud to ecommerce because merchants are unable to validate that their consumers are the legitimate accountholders. Because of this lack of authentication, ecommerce merchants currently bear full risk and liability for transactions they accept. A wide variety of fraud screening/scoring services are available to merchants, to assist them in reducing the likelihood of fraud, but these methods don't authenticate a consumer, and can cause good customers to be turned away while offering no shift in transaction liability and no guarantee of payment to the merchant.

Cardinal Centinel payment authentication services address these problems head on by offering a comprehensive authentication solution to ecommerce merchants, which guarantees payment and eliminates fraud liability.

The programs, Verified by Visa, MasterCard 3-D SecureCode and JCB's J/Secure, reduce the risk of unauthorized cardholder use by authenticating the consumer at the time of purchase (typically with a password). Payment authentication makes online shopping safer for both buyers and sellers by eliminating fraud and the "I didn't do it" chargebacks, guaranteeing payment to merchants and providing a secure channel for safe international ecommerce, while also protecting the cardholder from fraudulent use of their credit card.

EASY MERCHANT INTEGRATION

Cardinal Centinel offers a unique hosted solution that easily integrates with the merchant checkout process. There is no need for merchants to implement multiple software components for each payment type. The software is also designed to easily accommodate future credit/debit card initiatives, such as American Express and Discover.

The Cardinal Centinel payment authentication engine is seamlessly integrated as part of AspDotNetStorefront, and can be enabled (after subscription to the Cardinal Centinel service) by turning on an AppConfig setting via the store admin site. You must be using one of the following gateways in order to use Cardinal Commerce VBV/MasterCard Secure: Authorize.net, Paymentech, PayPal PayFlow PRO, or Cybersource.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Cardholders can authenticate themselves during checkout with a PIN or password previously assigned to their card. If the cardholder is not already enrolled in the programs with their bank, no PIN is required.

For the merchant, both Visa and MasterCard provide automatic chargeback blocking and guaranteed payment on all domestic and international consumer cards, even if the shopper does not have a PIN for their card.

This guarantee against fraud translates into lower chargeback rates, the ability to process more sales without manually reviewing orders, and the opportunity to expand internationally without risk.
