Term of the day
3DS SDK
A 3DS SDK is software that a merchant embeds inside a mobile app to help authenticate a cardholder when they make an in-app purchase. It supports the EMV 3-D Secure process, which is intended to help reduce card-not-present fraud in e-commerce and mobile payments while aiming for a smoother checkout experience. It handles the exchange of information needed for authentication rather than performing the authorization or approval decision itself.
