Authentication type response parameter for card transactions

The API now returns the AuthenticationResult.AuthenticationType property on all relevant card transactions, which has the possible values:
  • CHALLENGE – The issuer requested SCA to be enforced (for example, using 3DS).
  • FRICTIONLESS – The transaction was exempted from SCA because an exemption was granted by the issuer.
  • DIRECT_AUTHORIZATION – The transaction was sent to the issuer for authorization without any frictionless or challenge (for example, if SCA doesn’t apply).
The property reflects both:
  • The final state of the authentication request that Mangopay made to the issuer,
  • The decision of the issuer regarding the type of authentication to be enforced (if applicable)
A null value typically indicates that authentication was not requested (for example, because the request failed before being sent) or a decision was not received. The parameter is returned on the following requests: It is also returned on the objects obtained via the GET endpoints:
