In e-commerce, bank card payments are generally the most common payment method, but there are also other options, such as payments via digital wallets, manual entry by the retailer into a point-of-sale terminal (particularly for reservations or orders placed by phone), and SEPA transfers, …
The CB payment network provides a framework for these practices and all the use cases that e-retailers may offer: one-time payments, one-click purchases, subscription sign-ups, multi-channel payments, instalment plans, and deferred payments, etc.

L’authentification forte est une exigence européenne édictée dans le cadre de la DSP2 pour renforcer la sécurité des paiements en ligne. Elle rend obligatoire l’initiation d’un processus d’authentification forte au moment du paiement.
There are several solutions available to meet this authentication requirement. The most common method is redirecting users to a new page where they can enter an SMS code or complete a verification on a mobile app. 3D Secure is then activated and verifies your identity. It enhances the risk analysis of the transaction. The consumer enjoys a seamless experience: strong authentication is not required every time; it is triggered only when necessary.
CB has developed a new service to secure and streamline CB payments in e-commerce, based on the EMVCo 3D Secure standard.
Secure Credit Card Payment ensures that online purchases initiated by cardholders are secure.
