Payment methods include Visa Card, MasterCard, Apple Pay, SAMSUNG Pay and K-NET. Please be informed that in order for your payment to go through, your Visa Card or MasterCard have to be 3-D Secure. 3-D Secure is an additional security step in which the buyer is prompted by the card issuer to enter a passcode in order for the payment to go through.
This passcode is usually a one time passcode (OTP) sent by SMS to the buyer’s cell phone. Then, the buyer should enter the OTP after entering other cards details.

The Reasons Why We Suggest You Use 3-D Secure

3-D Secure (3DS) is an authenticated checkout flow for extra fraud protection. When paying, 3DS requires customers to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer. Specifically, after filling out your card details, you will be redirected to an authentication page on your card issuer’s or bank’s website and then, enter a passcode associated with your card or an OTP sent via SMS to your phone. 3-D Secure has to be activated on your card to be able to receive OTP and complete this verification step. If 3-D Secure is not activated on your card, your payment will fail on our website.

You should have 3-D Secure on your card so that whenever you pay online, you would have to enter your passcode or an OTP to approve the payment. In this case, you will protect your card from any fraudulent activities. In addition, if your card is lost, no body would be able to use the card because of the 3-D verification step in which the passcode or OTP will be required.

How Do You Know If your Card is 3-D Secure

The best and easier way is to contact your card issuer or bank to ask. If your card is Visa Card or MasterCard, then your card issuer should be able to activate it at once. As said earlier, 3-D Secure is an additional security level that will protect your card from fraudulent acts and if lost, no body can use.
