This guide provides information for using 3D Secure 2 with the BlueSnap API.
- For general information about 3D Secure and 3D Secure 2, refer to the 3D Secure Guide.
- For answers to specific questions related to BlueSnap and 3D Secure 2, PSD2, and SCA, refer to our 3D Secure 2 FAQs page.
This guide provides the following information:
- 3D Secure in Hosted Payment Fields
- 3D Secure in Client-Side Encryption
- 3D Secure with Plain Text cards
- 3D Secure with Returning Shoppers
- 3D Secure in Embedded Checkout
- 3D Secure in Payment Request API (W3C)
- 3D Secure in Secured Payment Collector
- Processing payments with data from external Merchant Plug-In (MPI)
- Supported 3D Secure object properties
- Error codes
- Authentication results
Note
You don't have to apply 3D Secure to all transactions. If you want to apply 3DS only to EU-issued cards for PSD2, but not US-issued cards, you can do that. Refer to Step 5 for examples.
Important
Merchant-initiated transactions are out of scope for 3D Secure. To make sure your transaction is identified as merchant-initiated, you must use the Merchant Managed Subscription API. Refer to Create Merchant-Managed Subscription and Create Merchant-Managed Subscription Charge for details.
BlueSnap applies this out-of-scope exemption to applicable transactions only for merchants who are the BlueSnap Subscription Engine or our merchant‑managed
subscription feature. If you handle your own subscriptions (that is, you are sending straight auth‑capture requests not using the BlueSnap Subscription Engine or our merchant-managed subscription feature), follow the information in the Rules for MITs for more information.
Before you begin
-
Make sure you've implemented the latest version of Hosted Payment Fields or Client-Side Encryption.
-
Enable 3D Secure
To get started, contact Merchant Support to request that BlueSnap enable 3DS for your account. After it has been enabled, you can activate it in your BlueSnap Console by going to Settings > Fraud Settings and selecting Enable 3D Secure. -
Enable IPNs for your account. When the shopper's account is debited for the transaction, the Charge IPN is sent with the
3DStatus
parameter, which verifies the 3D Secure result.
3D Secure in Hosted Payment Fields
If you're using Hosted Payment Fields, implementing 3DS consists of these steps:
- Step 1: Prevent your shopper from submitting the form during 3D Secure setup
- Step 2: Enable 3D Secure usage in the transaction
- Step 3: Account for 3D Secure errors
- Step 4: Create 3D Secure object with transaction data
- Step 5: Determine 3D Secure result
- Step 6: Process the transaction with Hosted Payment Fields token
Step 1: Prevent your shopper from submitting the form during 3D Secure setup
If the shopper submits the payment form while BlueSnap is setting up 3DS, an error may occur. You must let BlueSnap deactivate the submit button while setting up 3DS. To do this, add the data-bluesnap
attribute to your submit button element and set the value to submitButton
, as shown here
<button data-bluesnap="submitButton" type="submit" id="submit-button">Pay Now</button>
Important!
You must define the
data-bluesnap
value exactly as shown above; otherwise, BlueSnap cannot properly deactivate the button.
Step 2: Enable 3D Secure usage in the transaction
Enable 3DS usage in the transaction by adding the property '3DS'
to bsObj
and set its value to true
.
var bsObj = {
...
'3DS': true
};
Step 3: Account for 3D Secure errors
BlueSnap passes 3DS error codes and descriptions (shown here) to your onError
callback function as the errorCode
and errorDescription
parameters. Update your onError
callback function to account for these errors.
Step 4: Create 3D Secure object with transaction data
Create a 3DS object with at least the transaction amount and currency, as shown in the code below.
If you want to submit the credentials and activate 3DS, pass your object as an additional parameter to bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData
(shown in Step 5). You can also decide not to activate 3DS and not pass the object.
When the shopper hits the submit button, the data you provide within your object is sent to the issuer during the lookup and they decide if shopper authentication is required. In some cases, the issuer may authenticate the transaction (and assume fraud chargeback liability) without requiring the shopper to enter their credentials in the popup screen, making the 3DS flow entirely transparent.
Provide as much transaction data as possible
Provide as much transaction data as possible to improve the issuer's ability to authenticate the transaction without requiring the shopper to enter their credentials during checkout (refer to Supported 3D Secure object properties).
var threeDSecureObj = {
amount: 35.75,
currency: 'USD'
...
};
Step 5: Determine 3D Secure result
BlueSnap passes the 3DS result to your purchase function callback as callBack.threeDSecure.authResult
, which has one of the values shown here. Configure your purchase function callback to determine the 3DS result and take appropriate action. (Refer to the code below for a simple bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData
call with the changes from Steps 4 and 5.)
Note
callBack.threeDSecure
also includesthreeDSecureReferenceId
, a reference to the 3DS authentication.
The code calls bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData
with a simple purchase callback function. Here you can decide if you want to activate 3DS by either including the threeDSecureObj
in bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData
or you can decide not to activate 3DS and not pass the object.
bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData(function(callback) {
if (null != callback.cardData) {
console.log('Card type is ' + callback.cardData.ccType +
', Last 4 digits are ' + callback.cardData.last4Digits +
', Exp is ' + callback.cardData.exp +
', Issuing Country is ' + callback.cardData.issuingCountry +
', 3D Secure result is ' + (callback.threeDSecure != null ? callback.threeDSecure.authResult : null));
// submit form to server & process transaction
} else {
.
.
.
}
}, threeDSecureObj);
bluesnap.hostedPaymentFieldsSubmitData(function(callback) {
if (null != callback.cardData) {
console.log('Card type is ' + callback.cardData.ccType +
', Last 4 digits are ' + callback.cardData.last4Digits +
', Exp is ' + callback.cardData.exp +
', Issuing Country is ' + callback.cardData.issuingCountry +
', 3D Secure result is ' + (callback.threeDSecure != null ? callback.threeDSecure.authResult : null));
// submit form to server & process transaction
} else {
.
.
.
}
});
Step 6: Process the transaction with Hosted Payment Fields token
Process 3D Secure transactions (or save shopper payment details) from your server the same way you handle regular card payments—by including your token within the pfToken
property in the request. Refer to the Hosted Payment Fields guide for Payment API code samples with pfToken
.
3D Secure in Client-Side Encryption
If you're using Client-Side Encryption, implementing 3D Secure consists of these steps:
- Step 1: Add data-bluesnap attributes
- Step 2: Obtain 3D Secure token for the session
- Step 3: Call bluesnap.init3DS to set up 3D Secure
- Step 4: Create a 3D Secure object with transaction data
- Step 5: Call bluesnap.encrypt with 3D Secure object and callback function
- Step 6: Process the transaction with encrypted data
Step 1: Add data-bluesnap attributes
Add data-bluesnap
attributes to the expiration month and year fields on your checkout form and set the values to expirationMonth and expirationYear, respectively (shown below). This allows BlueSnap to access these fields during checkout, which are required as part of the 3DS authentication flow.
<div>
<label for="Expiration">Exp. (MM/YYYY)</label>
<input data-bluesnap="expirationMonth" type="text" name="exp-month" id="exp-month" size="2">
<span> / </span>
<input data-bluesnap="expirationYear" type="text" name="exp-year" id="exp-year" size="4">
</div>
Add a data-bluesnap
attribute to your submit button element and set its value to submitButton (shown below). This allows BlueSnap to deactivate your button during the 3DS setup process, which you begin in Step 3 by calling bluesnap.init3DS
. The shopper is prevented from submitting the payment form during the setup process, eliminating the potential for any errors that could result.
<button data-bluesnap="submitButton" type="submit" id="submit-button">Pay Now</button>
Step 2: Obtain 3D Secure token for the session
Obtain the 3D Secure token for the session by sending a Create 3D Secure Token request, which is a server-to-server POST request sent to:
/services/2/threeDSecure
The response provides the token as the value of the threeDSecureToken
property (shown below). Grab the token and send it to the client for the next step.
{
"threeDSecureToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIU..."
}
Step 3: Call bluesnap.init3DS to set up 3D Secure
After the checkout page has been loaded, begin the 3DS setup process by calling bluesnap.init3DS
with the following parameters:
- The 3D Secure token (obtained in the prior step)
- A callback function to handle an error if it occurs
When bluesnap.init3DS
is called, BlueSnap disables the submit button (which is possible because you added the data-bluesnap
attribute in Step 1) and set up 3D Secure. When the process is complete, BlueSnap re-enables the button and calls the provided function.
The below code calls bluesnap.init3DS
with its required parameters. Note: The result
is always empty.
bluesnap.init3DS(threeDSecureToken, function(result, error) {
if (error != null) {
// Handle the error. See below.
} else {
// 3D Secure setup was a success. No further action is required.
return;
}
});
Handling setup errors
If an error occurs during the setup process, error
has the following format. Handle the error by calling bluesnap.init3DS
with a valid token.
{
"errorCode": "14102",
"errorDescription": "3D Secure object is missing required fields { threeDSecureToken }"
}
Disabling 3D Secure for a specific transaction
To disable 3D Secure for a specific transaction, remove the
bluesnap.init3DS
call.
Step 4: Create a 3D Secure object with transaction data
Create a 3D Secure object with at least the transaction amount and currency (shown below). In the next step, you call bluesnap.encrypt
with your object (in addition to other parameters), which allows BlueSnap to send this information to the card issuer to consider as part of their decision whether shopper authentication is required.
Provide as much transaction data as possible
Provide as much transaction data as possible because it can improve the issuer's ability to authenticate the transaction (and assume fraud chargeback liability) without requiring the shopper to enter their credentials in the popup screen, making the 3‑D Secure flow entirely transparent and reducing checkout friction (refer to Supported 3‑D Secure object properties).
var threeDSecureObj = {
amount: 3575,
currency: 'USD'
...
};
Note
The amount in the example above actually processes "35.75" (with the decimal).
Step 5: Call bluesnap.encrypt with 3D Secure object and callback function
When the shopper hits the submit button, call bluesnap.encrypt
like you would normally, but add two additional parameters:
- The 3D Secure object (created in the prior step)
- A callback function to handle the authentication result (or error)
When the shopper submits their payment and bluesnap.encrypt
is called, BlueSnap sends the 3D Secure object to the issuer and they decide whether shopper authentication is required. After the authentication process is complete, BlueSnap encrypts the payment form and calls the provided function with the authentication result (or error).
The below code calls bluesnap.encrypt
with its required parameters.
bluesnap.encrypt("formID", threeDSecureObj, function(result, error) {
if (error != null) {
// Handle the error. See below.
} else {
// Handle the authentication result. See below.
}
});
Handling authentication errors
If an error occurs during the authentication process, error
has the format of the following example and it contains a set of values (shown here), which explains how to handle the error accordingly.
{
"errorCode": "14101",
"errorDescription": "3D Secure authentication was failed because the shopper did not enter correct credentials"
}
Handling authentication results
If no errors occur during the authentication process, result
has the format of the following example and authResult
contains one of the values (shown here), which explains how to process the transaction accordingly.
{
"threeDSecure":{
"authResult":"AUTHENTICATION_SUCCEEDED",
"threeDSecureResultToken":"eyJhbGciOiJIU..."
},
"encryptedCardNumber":"$bsjs_1_0_3$odPj3U+Ap98...",
"encryptedSecurityCode":"$bsjs_1_0_3$a4jfpzZVitf...",
"ccLast4Digits":"0002",
"expirationYear":"2020",
"expirationMonth":"01"
}
Step 6: Process the transaction with encrypted data
To process 3D Secure payments from your server, include the threeDSecure
object in the request and set its threeDSecureResultToken
property to the 3D Secure result token (obtained in the last step).
Sample Auth Capture request:
{
"amount": 11,
"softDescriptor": "DescTest",
"cardHolderInfo": {
"firstName": "test first name",
"lastName": "test last name",
"zip": "123456"
},
"currency": "USD",
"creditCard": {
"expirationYear": 2023,
"encryptedCardNumber": "$bsjs_1_0_3$odPj3U+Ap98...",
"encryptedSecurityCode": "$bsjs_1_0_3$a4jfpzZVitf...",
"expirationMonth": "07"
},
"cardTransactionType": "AUTH_CAPTURE",
"threeDSecure": {
"threeDSecureResultToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdG..."
}
}
3D Secure with Plain Text cards
If you're using plain text cards, implementing 3-D Secure consists of these steps:
- Step 1: Obtain the 3DS Payments token for the session
- Step 2: Add the BlueSnap JavaScript file to your checkout form
- Step 3: Initialize 3DS
- Step 4: Activate 3DS Payments Submit Data function
- Step 5: Process a transaction with the 3DS Reference ID
Step 1: Obtain the 3DS Payments token for the session
Get your 3DS Payments token by sending a server-to-server POST request.
-
For a card that is new on your website:
BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/services/2/payment-fields-tokens
-
For a saved card:
BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/services/2/payment-fields-tokens/prefill
{ "ccNumber":"4111 1111 1111 1111", "expDate" : "01/2022" }
Insert the domain for either Sandbox or Production
In all steps, replace the BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH with the relevant domain for either the BlueSnap Sandbox or Production environment, as follows:
- Sandbox:
https://sandbox.bluesnap.com
- Production:
https://ws.bluesnap.com
For example, the Hosted Fields token request (step 1) should be sent to
https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/payment-fields-tokens
on Sandbox andhttps://ws.bluesnap.com/services/2/payment-fields-tokens
on Production.
The response provides the token in the location header. For example:
BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/services/2/payment-fields-tokens/PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID
Note: Secured Payments Token expires after 60 minutes.
Step 2: Add the BlueSnap JavaScript file to your checkout form
In your checkout page, call the BlueSnap JavaScript file by adding the following script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/web-sdk/4/bluesnap.js"></script>
Step 3: Initialize 3DS
To initialize 3D Secure, call bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSetup
with the following parameters:
- The token from step 1
- A callback function to handle the data submission results (this occurs in step 4)
<script>
//Run the following command after Document Object Model (DOM) is fully loaded
// and bluesnap script was loaded
bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSetup("PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID", function(sdkResponse){
var code = sdkResponse.code;
if (code == 1){ // on Success
var cardData = sdkResponse.cardData;
var threeDSecure = sdkResponse.threeDSecure;
console.log('card type: ' + cardData.ccType
+ ', last4digits: '
+ cardData.last4Digits
+ ', issuing Country: '
+ cardData.issuingCountry
+ ', is Regulated Card: '
+ cardData.isRegulatedCard
+ ', card Sub Type: '
+ cardData.cardSubType
+ ', bin Category: '
+ cardData.binCategory
+ ', cc bin: '
+ cardData.ccBin
+ ', 3D Secure result: '
+ threeDSecure.authResult
+ ', 3D Secure ReferenceId: '
+ threeDSecure.threeDSecureReferenceId
+ ', after that I can call final submit');
// SUBMIT THE FORM HERE!
} else {
// in case some errors occurred
var errorsArray = sdkResponse.info.errors;
// in case some warnings occurred
var warningsArray = sdkResponse.info.warnings;
}
});
</script>
Replace PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID
with the token you obtained in Step 1.
The SdkResponse
object contains:
{
"status": STATUS,
"code": ERROR_CODE,
"info": { // if an error or warning occurred
"errors": ["Some errors"],
"warnings": ['Some warning']
},
"cardData": {
"binCategory": "CONSUMER",
"ccBin": "411111",
"cardSubType": "CREDIT",
"ccType": "VISA",
"last4Digits": "0002",
"isRegulatedCard": "Y",
"issuingCountry": "us"
},
"threeDSecure": {
"authResult": “AUTHENTICATION_SUCCEEDED”,
"threeDSecureReferenceId": "12345"
}
}
The "status"
can have the following values:
Success
Invalid Data
— Identifies issues with the jsonData provided from the merchant.Inner Error
— Identifies issues in the solution itself.Server Error
— Identifies issues with the BlueSnap server.
The "code"
field can have the following error codes:
1
— On a status ofSuccess
10
— On a status ofInvalid Data
when an error prevents the process from continuing. For example: Invalid provided currency.15
— On a status ofInvalid Data
when an error does not prevent the process from continuing. (The callback is called with a warning array. The process continues and callback is called again on completion or another error). For example: Invalid billingFirstName.- Other codes are the BlueSnap server HTTP errors or generic server errors (400, 500). For example:
22013
isCC_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_THE_MERCHANT
14040
isTOKEN_IS_EXPIRED
14042
isTOKEN_IS_NOT_ASSOCIATED_WITH_A_PAYMENT_METHOD
14104
isSHOPPER_CC_NOT_FOUND
14102
isTHREE_D_SECURE_MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELDS
The "info"
field is present if an error or warning occurred and will contain the errors
and warnings
.
- The following are possible values for
errors
:Invalid amount: <given_amount>
— An invalid amount was givenAmount is mandatory and must be of type number
— An amount wasn’t provided or provided not as a numberCurrency <given_currency> is not supported
— The given currency is not supportedCurrency is mandatory
— An amount wasn’t providedInvalid ccNumber
Invalid cvv
Invalid expDate
Invalid ccType
Invalid last4Digits
- The following is a possible value for
warnings
:Parameter <given_key> with value of <given_value> is invalid
— Keys verified through this process are: email, all shipping details, and all of the billing details.
For example:Parameter shippingFirstName with value of 123 is invalid
Step 4: Activate 3DS Payments Submit Data function
To activate 3DS Payments Submit Data function when the user presses the submit button and then wait for response before activating the submit form, add the script below into your checkout form:
<script>
var newCard = {
"ccNumber":"CREDIT CARD NUMBER",
"cvv":"CVV", //Optional
"expDate":"MM/YYYY",
"amount": 10,
"currency": "USD"
}
bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSubmitData(newCard);
</script>
<script>
var saveCardDirectly = {
"cvv":"CVV", //Optional
"amount": 10,
"currency": "USD"
}
bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSubmitData(saveCardDirectly);
</script>
This function should be activated when the shopper clicks the Submit button. This submits the credit card data to BlueSnap, where it is associated with the 3DS Payments Token. After the data submission is completed, BlueSnap calls your function from step 3 with the submission results.
Step 5: Process a transaction with the 3DS Reference ID
Process 3D Secure transactions (or save shopper payment details) from your server the same way you handle regular card payments—by including the threeDSecureReferenceId
within the threeDSecure
property in the request. Refer to the Auth-Capture section for Payment API code samples with 3D Secure.
curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \

# 3D Secure with Returning Shoppers If you're using 3D Secure for returning shoppers, implementation consists of these steps:
Step 1: Obtain the 3DS Payments token for this session
Step 2: Add the BlueSnap JavaScript file to your checkout page
Step 3: Initialize 3DS
Step 4: Activate 3DS Payments Submit Data function
Step 5: Process the transaction with the 3DS Reference ID
Step 1: Obtain the 3DS Payments token for this session
Get your 3DS Payments token by sending a server-to-server POST request to:
BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/services/2/payment-fields-tokens?shopperId=SHOPPERID
If you have saved the shopper using your sellerShopperId
, you can use that instead of shopperId
.
The response provides the token in the location header. For example:
BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/services/2/payment-fields-tokens/PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID
Insert the domain for either Sandbox or Production
In all steps, replace the BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH with the relevant domain for either the BlueSnap Sandbox or Production environment, as follows:
- Sandbox:
https://sandbox.bluesnap.com
- Production:
https://ws.bluesnap.com
For example, the Hosted Fields token request (step 1) should be sent to
https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/payment-fields-tokens
on Sandbox andhttps://ws.bluesnap.com/services/2/payment-fields-tokens
on Production.
Note: Secured Payments Token expires after 60 minutes.
Step 2: Add the BlueSnap JavaScript file to your checkout page
In your checkout page, call the BlueSnap JavaScript file by adding the following script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="BLUESNAPDOMAINPATH/web-sdk/4/bluesnap.js"></script>
Step 3: Initialize 3DS
To initialize 3D Secure, call bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSetup
with the following parameters:
- The token from step 1
- A callback function to handle the data submission results (this occurs in step 4)
<script>
//Run the following command after Document Object Model (DOM) is fully loaded
// and bluesnap script was loaded
bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSetup("PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID", function(sdkResponse){
var code = sdkResponse.code;
if (code == 1){ // on Success
var cardData = sdkResponse.cardData;
var threeDSecure = sdkResponse.threeDSecure;
console.log('card type: ' + cardData.ccType
+ ', last4digits: '
+ cardData.last4Digits
+ ', issuing Country: '
+ cardData.issuingCountry
+ ', is Regulated Card: '
+ cardData.isRegulatedCard
+ ', card Sub Type: '
+ cardData.cardSubType
+ ', bin Category: '
+ cardData.binCategory
+ ', cc bin: '
+ cardData.ccBin
+ ', 3D Secure result: '
+ threeDSecure.authResult
+ ', 3D Secure ReferenceId: '
+ threeDSecure.threeDSecureReferenceId
+ ', after that I can call final submit');
// SUBMIT THE FORM HERE!
} else {
// in case some errors occurred
var errorsArray = sdkResponse.info.errors;
// in case some warnings occurred
var warningsArray = sdkResponse.info.warnings;
}
});
</script>
Replace PAYMENTFIELDTOKENID
with the token you obtained in Step 1.
The SdkResponse
object contains:
{
"status": STATUS,
"code": ERROR_CODE,
"info": { // if an error or warning occurred
"errors": ["Some errors"],
"warnings": ['Some warning']
},
"cardData": {
"binCategory": "CONSUMER",
"ccBin": "411111",
"cardSubType": "CREDIT",
"ccType": "VISA",
"last4Digits": "0002",
"isRegulatedCard": "Y",
"issuingCountry": "us"
},
"threeDSecure": {
"authResult": “AUTHENTICATION_SUCCEEDED”,
"threeDSecureReferenceId": "12345"
}
}
The "status"
can have the following values:
Success
Invalid Data
— Identifies issues with the jsonData provided from the merchant.Inner Error
— Identifies issues in the solution itself.Server Error
— Identifies issues with the BlueSnap server.
The "code"
field can have the following error codes:
1
— On a status ofSuccess
10
— On a status ofInvalid Data
when an error prevents the process from continuing. For example: Invalid provided currency.15
— On a status ofInvalid Data
when an error does not prevent the process from continuing. (The callback is called with a warning array. The process continues and callback is called again on completion or another error). For example: Invalid billingFirstName.- Other codes are the BlueSnap server HTTP errors or generic server errors (400, 500). For example:
22013
isCC_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_THE_MERCHANT
14040
isTOKEN_IS_EXPIRED
14042
isTOKEN_IS_NOT_ASSOCIATED_WITH_A_PAYMENT_METHOD
14104
isSHOPPER_CC_NOT_FOUND
14102
isTHREE_D_SECURE_MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELDS
The info
field is present if an error or warning occurred and will contain the errors
and warnings
.
Step 4: Activate the 3DS Payments Submit Data function
To activate 3DS Payments Submit Data function when the user presses the submit button and then wait for response before activating the submit form, add the script below into your checkout form:
<script>
var previouslyUsedCard = {
"last4Digits": "1111",
"ccType": "VISA",
"amount": 10,
"currency": "USD"
}
bluesnap.threeDsPaymentsSubmitData(previouslyUsedCard);
</script>
This function should be activated when the shopper clicks the Submit button. This submits the credit card data to BlueSnap, where it is associated with the 3DS Payments Token. After the data submission is completed, BlueSnap calls your function from step 3 with the submission results.
Step 5: Process the transaction with the 3DS Reference ID
Process 3D Secure transactions (or save shopper payment details) from your server the same way you handle regular card payments—by including the threeDSecureReferenceId
within the threeDSecure
property in the request. Refer to the Auth-Capture section for Payment API code samples with 3D Secure.
curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \

Processing payments with data from external Merchant Plug-In (MPI)
If you're using an external Merchant Plug-In (MPI) for 3D Secure and you only want to process the payment through BlueSnap, first contact Merchant Support and inform them you're using an external MPI so that your account can be configured appropriately.
To process the payment, include the threeDSecure
object.
