Hi US1,
I understand that your customer needs to use a credit or debit card option when making payment. If your customer is seeing the error message "Unable to authenticate payment" when trying to use a credit or debit card, it likely relates to the 3D Secure authentication process. This is a security protocol that provides extra protection for online payments by authenticating the cardholder, similar to entering a PIN for an ATM transaction.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- 3D Secure is managed by the bank. The authentication process is initiated by the bank, so sometimes the customer might not be asked to enter a password or code.
- Not all banks participate: Some banks do not use 3D Secure, which can affect the authentication process.
If the issue persists, the customer may need to contact their bank for assistance.
Best regards,
Doreen
