3DS2 Authentication
3DS2 is an authentication protocol, the successor of 3DS1, that enables businesses and payment providers to send additional information (such as customer device or browser data) to verify the transaction’s authenticity. Razorpay integration is compliant with the 3DS2 protocol. Know more: Razorpay supports 3DS2 transactions. The customer’s bank evaluates the transaction for risk and decides on the payment flow.- Frictionless Flow: This flow is activated if the bank determines that the transaction is from a trusted device and allows the payment to go through without any additional authentication from the customer. Currently, this would not be applicable in India for domestic payments as RBI mandates OTP-based authentication. For international payments, this flow is viable.
- Challenge Flow: This flow is activated if the bank determines that the transaction is not from a trusted device and needs additional information. The customer needs to perform additional authentication steps.
Handy Tips
- Integration does not differ for the challenge flow or the frictionless flow.
- Frictionless flow is not applicable for payments on cards issued in India.
