3D secure

[Blokesbags]

Been corresponding over last couple of days with Cardinal Centinel who will be providing 3D secure for processing card payments through PayPal and they are currently talking to Actinic developers to implement the system before it becomes obligatory, certainly for Maestro cards on Jan 1st next year. As far as I am concerned it can't come soon enough. So please everyone keep the pressure on - every day lost is another day with potential to be defrauded.

I assume we are talking about Paypal Payment Pro and not standard Paypal

[Blokesbags]

Yes, sorry I do mean PayPal Pro

[animal dreams]

Surely this is down to Paypal to implement since we don't touch any card info. Also 3DSecure is ALREADY mandatory for Maestro.

[Blokesbags]

Interesting. I have just tested my PayPal Pro service via my website with my own Maestro card and it did not require 3DSecure to complete.

I think there's about 3 people using Paypal Pro, i don't see much pressure being applied by that group. RIP Paypal Pro, an ugly, confusing and problematic implementation IMO and not even PCI compliant.

I think feemish might disagree with you on the above quote.

LOL, oh yes, oops.

[Darren B]

hmm theres a name i think i remember

im confused as to having 3d secure with a PSP / ecommerce package that is not pci compliant. I would like to see how this gets worked out

Lack of progress

Hi there,

First of all, some of us do use PayPal Pro, and it's fine. This is a support forum, so let's keep it about support please.

As a PayPal Pro user, I was notified that I need to start a Cardinal Centinel account and go through what looked like a quite scary set of procedures.

I contacted them for some advice and got this today (27th Nov 2009):

After looking up your account it looks like you are using Actinic shopping cart. Unfortunately, Actinic has not yet integrated Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

PayPal and CardinalCommerce are currently working with Actinic to integration 3-D Secure into the shopping cart.

We have flagged your account as “Actinic” so when the implementation is complete we will notify you with instructions ASAP.

So I hope all is well before I stop being able to process payments.

and not even PCI compliant.

Phil, have you assessed your system to see if you comply?

Since when were you running it? People are entitled to their opinions.

[Rich Brady]

Actually, not a "Support" forum it's online community where people discuss issues, ideas and often help each out regarding the Actinic software & related topics...

Calm down guys.

It says quite clearly at the top of the page 'Help and Advice'. That sound like support to me.

LOL No it sounds like "Help & Advice"

The general opinion of forum members and the "advise" they/we usually give is to use a compliant PSP and not to use PayPal Pro with Actinic as you do not comply with current standards.
