service enables you to make a request to a 3rd party (such as the forter api) with a placeholder for the full credit card value included in the request the request is then routed through the proxy, where the placeholder is replaced with the corresponding card data you can also check out our forter's https //docs forter com/card vaulting solution for a more seamless integration visa required data

that's probably already the case, but still best to verify forter, as an external mpi, can execute 3ds only if the mids are enrolled with the card scheme to the 3ds service psp supports external 3ds mpi ensure that your psp is configured to receive and process the results of the 3ds authentication when using an external mpi like forter get the relevant api reference from your psp to request authorization with 3ds results clarify which additional fields about 3ds results should be populated (e g cavv, eci, 3ds version, xid, transid) see https //docs forter com/psp authorization for more details psp supports psd2 exemption requests relevant only for psd2 solution verify with your psp that you can request an exemption from executing 3ds for low value and low risk transactions in the authorization call get the relevant api reference from your psp to request authorization with an exemption request
