   • To assign a descriptor dynamically: Select the Dynamic descriptor checkbox.

Enable 3D Secure (3DS)

Use this process to enable 3DS transactions on a payment gateway account.

3DS is a security layer for online credit and debit card transactions that is used by merchants to validate cardholders. The cardholder authenticates their card against the website of the issuing bank. The merchant chooses whether to use 3D secure. This enables the merchant to shift liability from themselves to the issuing bank. 3D Secure requires that cardholder interaction. 3D stands for the three domains which interact using the protocol: the merchant or acquirer domain, the issuer domain, and the interoperability domain.

Instant payment notifications (IPNs)

IPN is a message service that automatically notifies merchants on transaction events. It is used to automate office administrative functions, including automatically fulfilling orders, and providing customers with order status.

Payment gateways use static or dynamic IPNs. Static IPNs must be configured within the user interface of the gateway, or in some cases, they may need to be set by your account manager. Dynamic IPNs are pre-configured and do not require any further action. If you are unsure whether your payment gateway uses static or dynamic IPNs, contact your gateway account manager.

All static IPNs have the following structure:

https://hook.rebilly.com/ipns/{gatewayName}/{merchantId}
