Protocol version changes

Changes related to the Preview environment

We will enable EMV 3DS 2.3.1 card ranges on Preview environment in May 2024. It is highly recommended to adjust the message formatting to the logic including the newest protocol version on Preview environment. With adopting the newest protocol version and EMV 3DS 2.3.1 card ranges enablement from Netcetera side you will be able to test EMV 3DS 2.3.1 test scenarios, including SPC flow on preview environment.

If you are not ready for EMV 3DS 2.3.1 it is highly recommended to adjust the logic for Preferred Protocol version, instead of using the latest supported protocol version for Prefered Protocol version, use EMV 3DS 2.2.0.

Changes related to the Production environment

In the next few months we are expecting the card schemes to start using EMV 3DS 2.3.1 card ranges in production. It is highly recommended to prepare for the newest protocol message formatting and requirements in production. Adjust the logic for Preferred Protocol version, instead of the latest supported protocol version use highest protocol version from the Versioning response followed by AReq format EMV 3DS 2.2.0 or EMV 3DS 2.3.1 accordingly.

If you continue sending the transaction in the latest supported protocol version and you have not adjusted to the EMV 3DS 2.3.1 protocol version, you will experience transactions failure. Read more in FAQ under the EMV 3DS 2.3.1 section.

It is highly recommended to use preferred protocol version, correct message formatting in a correlation with the appropriate protocol version EMV 3DS 2.2.0 or EMV 3DS 2.3.1.

Please be informed that the latest option as preferredProtocolVersion is now deprecated and will be removed after 6 months. This option will no longer be supported due to variations in message formatting between EMV 3DS 2.3.1 and its predecessors, EMV 3DS 2.2.0 and EMV 3DS 2.1.0.
