Payment Method Configuration {#sa-payment-method-configuration}
===============================================================

You must configure at least one payment method before you can activate a profile.  
A payment method selection page is displayed as part of the checkout process for any of these scenarios:

* Multiple payment methods are enabled for the profile, and no payment_method field is included in the request.
* payment_method=`visacheckout` is included in the request.
* `Visa Click to Pay` is the only enabled payment method for the profile. See [Enabling the Payment Method for Visa Click to Pay](/content/cybsdeveloper2021/amer/en/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-hosted/secure-acceptance/sa-payment-configuration/sa-payment-method-configuration/sa-visa-clicktopay-configuration/sa-enable-visa-clicktopay-payment-method.md "").
  Visa Click to Pay uses Visa Checkout services and API fields.  
  You can skip displaying the payment method selection page by specifying card or echeck as the only available payment method. See [Enabling ACH Payments](/content/cybsdeveloper2021/amer/en/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-hosted/secure-acceptance/sa-payment-configuration/sa-payment-method-configuration/sa-enable-echecks.md "").  
  Customers can change the payment method during the checkout process.

Adding Card Types and Currencies {#sa-add-card-types-currencies}
================================================================

For each card type you choose, you can also manage currencies and payer authentication options. Choose only the types of payment cards and currencies that your merchant account provider authorizes.  
The card verification number (CVN) is a three- or four-digit number that helps ensure that the customer possess the card at the time of the transaction.

> Secure Acceptance does not process transactions for cards that do not have a card verification number (CVN) and expiration date. Most China UnionPay debit and credit cards issued before 2016 do not have a CVN and expiration date. You must decide whether you will require the CVN.

1. In the left navigation panel, choose Payment Configuration \> `Secure Acceptance` Settings. The `Secure Acceptance` Settings page appears.

2. Choose a profile. The General Settings page appears.

3. Click Payment Settings. The Payment Settings page appears.

4. Click Add Card Types. The list of card types appear.

5. Check each card type that you want to offer to the customer as a payment method. Your payment processor must support the card types.

6. Click the settings icon for each card type. The card settings and currencies lists appear.

7. Check CVN Display to display the CVN field on `Secure Acceptance`. The customer decides whether to enter the CVN. `Cybersource` recommends that you display the CVN to reduce fraud.

8. Check CVN Required. The CVN Display option must also be checked. If this option is checked, the customer is required to enter the CVN. `Cybersource` recommends that you require the CVN to reduce fraud.

9. Check Payer Authentication.

10. Check the currencies for each card.

    #### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    By default, all currencies are listed as disabled. You must select at least one currency. Contact your merchant account provider for a list of supported currencies. If you select the Elo or Hipercard card type, only the Brazilian real currency is supported.

11. Click Submit. The card types are added as an accepted payment type.

12. Click Save.

Payer Authentication Configuration {#sa-payer-auth-configuration}
=================================================================

*Payer Authentication* is the `Cybersource` implementation of 3-D Secure. It prevents unauthorized card use and provides added protection from fraudulent chargeback activity. `Secure Acceptance` supports 3-D Secure 1.0 and 2.0.  
Before you can use Payer Authentication, you must contact Customer Support to configure your account. Your merchant ID must be enabled for payer authentication. For more information about payer authentication, see the [Payer Authentication Developer Guides](https://developer.cybersource.com/docs.md#PayerAuthentication "").  
For `Secure Acceptance`, `Cybersource` supports these kinds of payer authentication:

* American Express SafeKey
* China UnionPay (3-D Secure 2.0 only)
* Diners ProtectBuy
* J/Secure by JCB
* Mastercard Identity Check
* Visa Secure  
  For each transaction, you receive detailed information in the replies and in the transaction details page of the `Business Center`. You can store this information for 12 months. `Cybersource` recommends that you store the payer authentication data because you can be required to display this information as enrollment verification for any payer authentication transaction that you present again because of a chargeback.  
  Your merchant account provider can require that you provide all data in human-readable format.  
  The language used on each payer authentication page is determined by your issuing bank and overrides the locale you have specified. If you use the test card numbers for testing purposes the default language used on the payer authentication page is English and overrides the locale you have specified. See [Test and View Transactions](/content/cybsdeveloper2021/amer/en/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-hosted/secure-acceptance/sa-test-view-txns.md "").

2. Choose a profile. The General Settings page appears.
3. Click Payment Settings. The Payment Settings page appears.
4. Choose a 3-D Secure version. If you choose 3‑D Secure 2.0 and the card issuer is not 3‑D Secure 2.0 ready, some transactions might still authenticate over 3‑D Secure 1.0. The payer_authentication_specification_version response field indicates which version was used.
5. Click Save. The card types that support payer authentication are:
   * American Express
   * Cartes Bancaires
   * China UnionPay
   * Diners Club
   * JCB
   * Mastercard
   * Maestro (UK Domestic or International)

* Visa

Enabling Automatic Authorization Reversals {#sa-enable-automatic-auth-reversals}
================================================================================

For transactions that fail to return an address verification system (AVS) or a card verification number (CVN) match, you can enable `Secure Acceptance` to perform an automatic authorization reversal. An automatic reversal releases the reserved funds held against a customer's card.

1. In the left navigation panel, choose Payment Configuration \> `Secure Acceptance` Settings. The `Secure Acceptance` Settings page appears.

2. Choose a profile. The General Settings page appears.

3. Click Payment Settings. The Payment Settings page appears.

   #### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

When the AVS and CVN options are disabled and the transaction fails an AVS or CVN check, the customer is notified that the transaction was accepted. You are notified to review the transaction details. See [Types of Notifications](/content/cybsdeveloper2021/amer/en/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-hosted/secure-acceptance/sa-notification-types.md "").

Enabling ACH Payments {#sa-enable-echecks}
==========================================

An ACH payment is a payment made directly from your customer's U.S. or Canadian bank account. As part of the checkout process, you must display a terms and conditions statement for ACH transactions.  
A customer must accept the terms and conditions before submitting an order. Within the terms and conditions statement it is recommended that you include a link to the table of returned item fees. The table lists by state the amount that your customer has to pay when a check is returned.

1. In the left navigation panel, choose Payment Configuration \> `Secure Acceptance` Settings. The `Secure Acceptance` Settings page appears.
2. Choose a profile. The General Settings page appears.
3. Click Payment Settings. The Payment Settings page appears.

`Visa Click to Pay` Configuration {#sa-visa-clicktopay-configuration}
=====================================================================

You must enroll in `Visa Click to Pay` and create a `Visa Click to Pay` profile before you can enable it as a payment method. See *Visa Click to Pay* ([PDF](http://apps.cybersource.com/library/documentation/dev_guides/VCO_Getting_Started/Visa_Checkout_Getting_Started.pdf "") \| [HTML](http://apps.cybersource.com/library/documentation/dev_guides/VCO_Getting_Started/html/ "")). Only the authorization and sale transaction types are supported for `Visa Click to Pay` transactions.
Visa Click to Pay uses Visa Checkout services and API fields.  
The payment methods selection page is displayed as part of the checkout process for these scenarios:

* Multiple payment methods are enabled for the profile, and no payment_method field is included in the request.
* `Visa Click to Pay` is the only enabled payment method for the profile.
* payment_method=`visacheckout` is included in the request.

`Visa Click to Pay` requires the customer to enter only a username and password to pay for goods. It eliminates the need to enter account, shipping, and billing information. The customer logs in to their `Visa Click to Pay` account and chooses the card with which they would like to pay. If the `Secure Acceptance` profile is enabled to request the payer authentication service for a specific card type, the customer is redirected to the relevant payer authentication screen before `Secure Acceptance` processes the transaction and redirects the customer to your website.

Configuring `Visa Click to Pay` {#sa-configure-visa-clicktopay}
===============================================================

1. In the left navigation panel, choose Payment Configuration \> Digital Payment Solutions. The Digital Payment Solutions page appears.
2. Click Configure. The Visa Merchant Services Agreement appears.

   * Visa---the Visa Secure service is requested.
   * Mastercard---the Mastercard Identity Check service is requested.
   * American Express---the American Express SafeKey service is requested.

   #### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

   See [Payer Authentication Configuration](/content/cybsdeveloper2021/amer/en/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-hosted/secure-acceptance/sa-payment-configuration/sa-payment-method-configuration/sa-payer-auth-configuration.md "").

7. Indicate when to reject transactions based on a certain criterion:

   * Billing address details are incorrect (AVS fail).
   * Security code is incorrect (CVV/CVN fail).
   * The `Visa Click to Pay` risk score is above your specified score. Select the risk score to use with your fraud model. A value of 0 indicates that a risk score will not be taken into account, and a higher risk score indicates a higher perceived fraud risk.
8. Click Save.

Enabling PayPal Express Checkout {#sa-enable-paypal-express-checkout}
=====================================================================

PayPal Express Checkout is not supported on a `Secure Acceptance` iframe integration.  
Contact `Cybersource` Customer Support to have your account configured for this feature. You must also create a PayPal business account. See [*PayPal Express Checkout Services Using Alternative Payment Services Simple Order API*](https://docs.cybersource.com/content/dam/new-documentation/documentation/en/altpay-paypal-express/developer/all/so/altpay-paypalexpress-so.pdf "").  
Add the PayPal Express Checkout payment method to the `Hosted Checkout Integration` payment methods selection page. Redirect the customer to their PayPal account login. When logged in to their PayPal account they can review orders and edit shipping or payment details before completing transactions.  
The payment methods selection page is displayed as part of the checkout process when multiple payment methods are enabled for the profile and no payment_method field is included in the request. If you include payment_method=`paypal` in the request, the payment methods selection page is not displayed, and the customer is redirected to PayPal.

   * Request a PayPal authorization and include the authorization response values in the response---check this option to create and authorize the PayPal order. The customer funds are not captured using this option. You must request a PayPal capture; see the PayPal guide. If the transaction type is ` sale `, ` Secure Acceptance ` authorizes and captures the customer funds.
   * Request a PayPal order setup and include the order setup response values in the response---check this option to create the PayPal order. The customer funds are not authorized or captured using this option. You must request a PayPal authorization followed by a PayPal capture request; see the PayPal guide. If the transaction type is ` sale `, ` Secure Acceptance ` authorizes and captures the customer funds.
7. Click Save.

Security Keys {#sa-security-keys}
=================================

Before you can activate a profile, you must create a security key to protect each transaction from data tampering. A security key expires in two years.

Merchant Notifications {#sa-merchant-notifications}
===================================================

`Secure Acceptance` sends merchant and customer notifications in response to transactions. You can receive a merchant notification by email or as an HTTPS POST to a URL for each transaction processed. Both notifications contain the same transaction result data.  
Ensure that your system acknowledges POST notifications (even when under load) as quickly as possible. Delays of more than 10 seconds might result in delays to future POST notifications.
` Cybersource ` recommends that you implement the merchant POST URL to receive notification of each transaction. Parse the transaction response sent to the merchant POST URL and store the data within your order management system. This ensures the accuracy of the transactions and informs you when the transaction was successfully processed.

Customer Response Page {#sa-customer-response-pg}

You must configure the customer response page before you can activate a profile.  
You can choose to have a transaction response page displayed to the customer at the end of the checkout process, and a cancel response page displayed during the checkout process. Enter a URL for your own customer response page, or use the `Cybersource` hosted response pages. Depending upon the transaction result, the `Cybersource` hosted response pages are Accept, Decline, or Error. Review declined orders as soon as possible because you might be able to correct problems related to address or card verification, or you might be able to obtain a verbal authorization. You can also choose to display a web page to the customer after the checkout process is completed.
