Authentication support (e.g., 3DS)

May support customer authentication flows where applicable to reduce fraud risk and support issuer requirements. Configuration can affect friction, conversion, and liability outcomes.

FAQ

Merchants use Paysafe Group to support payment acceptance and operational payment management, such as reporting, risk-related controls, and dispute workflows, depending on the setup.

Paysafe Group is a payments provider with multiple services; the exact role (PSP, acquirer/processor, or other) depends on the product used and the merchant’s contracting entity.

Merchants typically use reporting and decline/authorization insights to spot patterns by issuer, region, and authentication outcome, then adjust checkout data quality, 3DS strategy, or operational settings accordingly.

Paysafe Group operates internationally, but supported countries, payment methods, and features depend on the specific product, merchant location, and underwriting requirements.

Depending on the integration and region, Paysafe Group may support 3D Secure for card payments. Merchants usually decide how and when to apply it based on risk, SCA needs, and conversion goals.
