Reduce online payment fraud exposure with 3D Secure

Remote payments give customers flexibility. 3D Secure adds cardholder authentication through the customer’s card issuer to help reduce your dealership’s exposure to card-not-present fraud.

Verify the person behind the payment

Customers complete their issuer’s verification step when required during supported online and payment-link checkout.

Shift liability on eligible payments

Successfully authenticated, eligible transactions can qualify for a shift in liability for certain fraudulent-payment disputes.

3D Secure does not cover every chargeback. Disagreements about services and other dispute categories remain outside this protection. Coverage also depends on whether authentication applies to the transaction.

Give employees the access their responsibilities require

Your cashiers, advisors, and managers may need different payment capabilities. Authorized administrators can manage access to sensitive functions and review permissions by user, store, and department.

Control sensitive payment functions

Restrict refunds, manual card entry, warranty payments, and dispute management to authorized employees. Available controls depend on the payment product and dealership configuration.

Verify identity before returning funds

Refunds require multi-factor authentication (MFA), which adds employee identity verification to the action. Employees who use single sign-on must also complete refund verification.

Make manual card entry a controlled option

Manual-entry fields appear only when the user’s permissions and dealership setup allow them. Manual card entry carries greater fraud and chargeback risk, so use supported terminals or customer payment links when possible.

Add verification to employee sign-in

Supported authentication options include authenticator apps and email or text verification. Single sign-on (SSO) supports organizational sign-in. Available methods depend on configuration.

Know what happened. See the details.

Connected transaction records help your team investigate a payment, review a refund, or reconcile a deposit without piecing together separate terminal reports.

Follow activity across departments

Review transaction references, departments, users, payment methods, and statuses. Department- and cashier-level reporting helps your team investigate individual transactions.

Review the original payment before a refund

Confirm the amount, payment method, and transaction status before returning funds. Available refund and void actions depend on transaction status, gateway, and employee access.

Connect payment activity to payouts

Daily reconciliation reports and itemized payout detail help accounting connect transaction activity to deposits and investigate differences.
