Authenticate Payer
Request to authenticate a payer, i.e. verify the identity of a cardholder. You can subsequently use the resulting authentication data when submitting a financial transaction request to prove that you have performed payer authentication.
You must first invoke the Initiate Authentication operation and where the response indicates that payer authentication is available, you must then invoke the Authenticate Payer operation with the same orderId and transactionId submitted on the Initiate Authentication operation.
To increase the likelihood of the authentication being successful, provide as much information about the payer and the transaction as possible.
If the information in the request is sufficient to allow the authentication scheme to confirm the payer's identity the response will include the authentication data (frictionless flow). Alternatively (challenge flow), it may be necessary for the payer to interact with the authentication scheme to confirm their identity (e.g. by providing a one-time password sent to them by their card issuer). In this case the response will contain an HTML excerpt that you must inject into your page. This will establish the interaction between the payer and the authentication scheme. After authentication has been completed the payer will be redirected back to your website using the URL provided by you in field authentication.redirectResponseUrl in the Authenticate Payer request.
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.
Usage Note
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.
-
Basic HTTP authentication as described at
w3.org.
Provide 'merchant.
<your gateway merchant ID>' in the userid portion and your API password in the password portion.

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.

Information about how you authenticated the payer.
A record that ties together a customer's account on your website or application with a card which they use, using a service such as Mastercard Identity Check Express (IDCX).
By performing payer authentication for that card, and recording that against the secured login, it is possible to achieve a frictionless payer authentication flow for future transactions by showing that they have securely logged in to the merchant using that account. To demonstrate this, you should provide the customer.account.authentication.data, customer.account.authentication.method and customer.account.authentication.time fields.
