7) Learn about PSD2
PSD2 (Payment Services Directive n.2.) requires the implementation of the strong customer authentication (SCA, also known as two-factor authentication) for e-commerce payment transactions via the deployment of the technology called 3DSecure. Something very important for hotels to know about 3DSecure is the liability shift. When the 3DSecure step is requested to your guests when processing payments, then you will not be liable for chargebacks. Read the full article and tell us if you want to set stricter SCA requirements for your e-commerce transactions.
