Secure Global Payments with 3DS2 Smart Flexible Routing
Our flexible 3DS routing solution ensures SCA compliance, reduces transaction friction, and provides real-time control over authentication. This optimises payment security and customer satisfaction by adapting to risk levels and regulatory requirements.
The evolution of 3D Secure (3DS) protocols reflects the growing need for enhanced security in online transactions due to the increasing number of fraud cases. This progression introduces more data points and reduces customer friction.
3DS2 ensures SCA compliance.
Two authentication steps required.
Enhances payment security.
One Integration . more opportunities . One Integration . more opportunities .
Flexible 3DS is a dynamic routing system that intelligently applies the right level of authentication for each transaction based on historical data and performance. It balances security requirements with a seamless customer experience and frictionless checkout experience.
Our system uses advanced rules to determine the optimal authentication path for every transaction, maximising approval rates while minimising customer friction.
Customise authentication rules based on transaction value
Set specific rules for different card types and issuing banks.
Adapt routing logic in real time to respond to changing risk levels.
Effortlessly meet Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulations without disrupting your customer journey.
Apply authentication selectively based on real-time risk analysis for smoother, more secure transactions.
Manage a high volume of transactions with a scalable system that maintains optimal performance and security.
Our platform offers a comprehensive suite of security features to protect your business and customers. We enable secure transactions worldwide through external 3DS providers, robust card verification methods, and tailored solutions for global customers.
External 3D Secure strengthens transaction security by authenticating cardholders during online payments, creating redundancy, reducing fraud risks, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Secures cardholder transactions.
Enables risk-based authentication.
Adapts to evolving fraud detection.
Card verification authenticates cardholder information, ensuring the validity of payment credentials, minimising fraud risks, and maintaining transaction integrity for secure financial processing.
Confirms card details authenticity.
Enhances merchant reliability.
Reduces chargeback disputes.
A global customer embodies a diverse consumer base engaging in cross-border transactions, necessitating seamless currency management and adherence to international financial regulations.
Boosts growth in emerging markets.
Relies on secure data transfers.
Requires localised payment options.

3DS Routing helps merchants choose the right authentication route for each payment. By automatically selecting 3DS2, 3DS1, or bypassing 3DS, our systems ensure every transaction follows the optimal security path, balancing compliance, risk, and user experience.
Ideal for low-risk or recurring payments, providing instant checkout without compromising security.
Works with older systems but adds extra steps during checkout, which can impact customer flow and reduce conversions.
Modern, mobile-ready, and built for frictionless authentication using over 150 data points.
Used for small payments between €30 and €100, allowing liability shift and faster checkout without extra verification.
Discover solutions that simplify payments, improve checkout speed, and ensure smooth transactions, all designed to boost efficiency and provide helpful insights.
Simplified subscription management and recurring billing.
Fast, secure checkout experience for customers.
Efficient transaction routing with fallback options.

Flexible 3DS empowers merchants to tailor 3D Secure authentication, deciding when and how it is applied to transactions, achieving the perfect balance between security and user experience.
Flexible 3DS enhances transaction approval rates by selectively applying 3DS based on risk, minimising friction for trusted users and reducing cart abandonment.
Yes, merchants can configure rules to apply 3DS based on transaction value, customer history, or other risk factors.
Yes, Flexible 3DS supports all major card types and networks, ensuring seamless authentication across multiple payment methods.
By applying 3DS only when necessary, it reduces unnecessary authentication steps for low-risk transactions, offering a smoother and faster checkout experience.
The 3DS Liability shift (3D Secure 0.1) and 3DS2 Liability shift (3D Secure 2.0) both work the same way to transfer the fraud liability from merchants to card issuer if authentication is completed.
However, 3DS2 is better than 3DS1. How? 3DS2 offers broader protection because it supports more transaction types like (in-app payments). With 3DS2, the liability shift applies even for frictionless payments and provides a smooth checkout experience to every customer while maintaining all the security standards which makes 3DS2 more versatile than 3DS1 and prevents merchants from chargebacks.
A 3DS not authenticated label means the customer skipped or failed the verification like he/she didn’t submit an OTP or complete a Biometric check. In this case, merchants are liable for fraud. To reduce the risk, merchants can use the 3DS flex to nudge customers towards completing authentication and you can also analyse patterns (like repeat offenders) with 3RI (3D Secure Risk Indicators) to adjust your fraud strategy based on data.
A In simple words, a 3DS2-hosted solution like (Celeris) will take care of the complexity of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) on the merchant’s behalf. We ensure compliance with regulations like PSD2 while reducing integration work for you, Celeris 3DS2 automates the 3DS2 flow (Like sending risk data to the issuer) and we also support exemption, making it easier to balance security and customer experience.
A The 3DS flow is a step-by-step authentication process and 3DS Flex is the tool that helps merchants to customise how and when to trigger 3DS2 Flow. Paired with 3RI (3D Secure Risk Indicators) it helps merchants to analyse risk factors like (Device data or purchase history) and decide if a challenge is needed. This flexibility helps reduce checkout friction for low-risk transactions while maintaining security for high-risk ones.
