Please note this guide refers to what Spreedly refer to as Gateway Direct 3D Secure 2 whereby your gateway will handle the
3D Secure 2 processing, not the new "Spreedly 3D Secure" service whereby Spreedly act as a third party 3D Secure 2 processor. "Spreedly 3D Secure" is currently unsupported in the TourCMS API.

In 2015 the EU adopted a new directive on payment services (PSD 2) to improve their existing rules and take new digital payment services into account. The directive became applicable in January 2018.
A major component of this is is the requirement for Secure Customer Authentication, served by 3D Secure 2. The following page outlines how developers can implement 3D Secure 2 via Spreedly using TourCMS API endpoints and Spreedly "Gateway Direct 3D Secure 2". For those implementing 3D Secure 2 via other payment solutions, simply notify TourCMS once you have processed a payment via our standard Create Payment endpoint.
To implement 3D Secure with Spreedly using TourCMS APIs you should follow the Spreedly Gateway Direct 3D Secure 2 guide with the following exceptions / notes:
A Spreedly test gateway has been created that can be used for developing and testing 3D Secure 2. To use the gateway add the following in TourCMS, inside a new gateway in Configuration & Setup > credit card payments.
The other settings can be left blank.
See the Spreedly guide for test cards and amounts.
