How e-Commerce credit card payments work
Cardholder clicks to pay on the merchant's site
Cardholder is directed to a payment page to enter credit card details
Cardholder is then directed to a 3D Secure page
Cardholder enters 3D Secure authentication details
Should the cardholder not be registered for 3D Secure the cardholder will be redirected to the issuing bank to register for 3D Secure
If authentication is correct, the transaction is sent for authorisation
Once authorised, the merchant's website is advised of the result
