the transaction is authorized.<\/span> <span class=\"citation-2 recitation citation-end-2\">Visa&#8217;s implementation of 3DS is called &#8220;Visa Secure.&#8221;<\/span><span

class=\"citation-3 recitation citation-end-3\"> When a customer makes an online purchase with their Visa card, the merchant&#8217;s website communicates with the Visa network to initiate the 3DS process.<\/span><span class=\"button-container hide-from-message-actions ng-star-inserted\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"7:1-8:0\">\n<p

Implementation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:328\"><span class=\"citation-7 recitation citation-end-7\">Merchants need to integrate 3DS into their online payment systems.<\/span> <span
