Is 3D Secure required for recurring billing?
As with all card payments, full authentication including 3D secure is required when setting up recurring billing.
3D secure is only required for the initial payment in recurring billing setups to authorise the entire card agreement or subscription.
Once the initial payment is authorised with 3D secure, all subsequent payments are reliant on the first payment's authentication and do not require further involvement from the cardholder.
