3DS Contracts
Overview
In some countries or regions, the local legislation requires the implementation of an additional authentication step for any online transaction. In such cases, as a merchant, you are required to add an extra level of security for your shoppers by using the 3DS security protocol. To be able to activate 3DS for your shoppers, you need a 3DS contract, that will be set up for you by a Verifone representative, and a 3DS Contract ID, that will be automatically generated through Verifone Central.
You can view all the 3DS agreements that you set up for your shoppers on the 3DS Contracts page in Verifone Central. Your 3DS contract enables you to set up a 3DS authentication for each of your transactions.
Availability
Only a Verifone representative can create or edit a new 3D Secure contract or delete an existing one. For more information on your permissions, see the Users and merchants roles documentation.
Benefits
This feature provides the following benefits:
- Allows you to view the 3DS Contract ID set up for your 3D Secure contract in a fast and accessible way.
- Allows you to browse through several 3DS Contracts for each of your payment processes.

Viewing 3DS Contracts
To view this page, go to Verifone Central, and select Administration > 3DS Contracts from the top menu.
To search for a specific 3DS contract, use the search bar to look for a contract by name or to filter the list of contracts by organization.
You can also view in the 3DS contracts list the status of each 3DS contract:
- Pending – This status occurs if the onboarding process is underway, and it may take approximately 5–7 days for the contract to become active after it was created.
- Invalid – This status indicates if any required information is missing, preventing onboarding to Cardinal. The authorized users need to update the missing details and re-initiate the contract creation process.
- Onboarding Error – The onboarding process failed in Cardinal. Further action may be required to resolve the issue.
- Enabled – The 3DS contract has been successfully onboarded and is fully operational for 3DS transactions.
- Disabled – The contract is currently inactive but can be re-enabled or permanently deleted if needed.
- Deleted – The contract has been removed and is now view-only.
Click any row in the table to view additional details of a specific 3DS Contract.
The 3DS Contract ID can be easily copied for use in online shopping cart integrations as well as in Checkout API or 3D Secure API integrations.
