SCA Policy Framework

PXP have designed 4 SCA policies for processing online payments to suit all merchants, sectors and geographies and are working with merchants on implementing them in the way that best fits their trading patterns and customer base.

PXP's default SCA Policy is 1 for all merchants, however if a merchant requires a different policy set, then this can be requested during initial set up.

Alternatively, this can be dynamically set for each transaction by including it in the 3D Secure 2.0 Pre Authentication requests under scaDetails.scaPolicy

Please see SCA Policy for more information.
