Initiate Authentication
Request returning which payer authentication mechanism (e.g. 3-D Secure authentication version 2, 3-D Secure authentication version 1, RuPay PaySecure) the gateway recommends you to use for this order.
Where both 3-D Secure Authentication version 1 and version 2 are available the gateway returns 3-D Secure authentication version 2.
You must provide details about the card, the purpose of the authentication (e.g payment or card registration only), and how the payer will interact with the authentication process (e.g. via the browser or mobile app).
You can provide the actual card details, or a gateway token, scheme token or device payment details.
The response will indicate, if payer authentication is available. You can either
- only proceed with the Authenticate Payer operation where the response indicates that payer authentication is available (transaction.authenticationStatus=AUTHENTICATION_AVAILABLE ) or
- (to simplify your integration) always proceed with the Authenticate Payer operation. Where no payer authentication is available, the payer will simply be redirected back to your website.
When using a payment session build your integration as follows:
- When you create the payment session, populate it with all the transaction data required for the Authenticate Payer operation.
- As soon as you have the card number, invoke the Initiate Authentication operation with the payment session identifier. It is recommended that you perform this asynchronously, so that the payer can continue filling out payment details.
- When the payers clicks PAY, update the payment session with the additional data entered by the payer and invoke the Authenticate Payer operation with the payment session identifier.
- On your website, receive the POST callback from the gateway following the Authenticate Payer operation and submit the payment for processing by the gateway with the payment session identifier.
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.

"sourceOfFunds": {
"provided": {
"card": {
"devicePayment": {
"paymentToken": "{\"data\":\"869ss19ew ....

If you selected the SIMPLE case, the gateway will provide the authenticationRedirect data, even if your authentication system does not require it. This lets you have a single flow through your code for all authentication cases.
