SCA & 3D Secure Explained

The SCA (Strong Customer Authentication regulation from the European Banking Authority) went into effect September 14, 2019, and affects how you customers authenticate their on-line payments.  To comply with SCA, your customers' banks need to implement a system called "3D Secure" (sometimes abbreviated as "3DS".

This video explains what all this means, and shows you what you need to do inside your Stripe account to adapt to SCA and 3D Secure.
