Dear X-Cart Customers,
Please let me provide some information about recent updates introduced by PayPal.
Below is a quote from PayPal's email regarding the update:
Quote:
PayPal has updated its Website Payments Pro DoDirectPayment API (and
equivalent Payflow API) to allow merchants to pass 3-D Secure(tm)
authentication data to PayPal.
This update applies only to Direct Payment (debit and credit card)
transactions for Website Payments Pro merchants in the United Kingdom.
Updating your software with 3-D Secure enables your merchant's
participation in the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode
programs.
IMPORTANT: effective 31st December 2009, existing merchants who accept
the Maestro card must enable 3-D Secure for Internet-based transactions
using the Maestro card. MasterCard and Visa transactions continue to be
optional for 3-D Secure. PayPal Virtual Terminal transactions are not
affected.
IMPORTANT: effective 24th August 2009, new merchants who want to accept
Maestro must implement 3-D Secure before PayPal will enable Maestro on
their Pro account. This will potentially impact new merchants
activating Website Payments Pro on your software until 3-D Secure
support is added.
PayPal has partnered with Cardinal Commerce to provide 3-D Secure
functionality in Website Payments Pro. Cardinal Commerce are based in
the United States and are considered one of the leaders in the provision
of 3-D Secure technology. Cardinal will supply and support their 3-D
Secure product 'Cardinal Centinel' to Website Payments Pro merchants.
