If your online purchase requires 3D Secure (3DS) verification, you'll be asked to enter a one time password (OTP) to complete the transaction.
If you do not receive the OTP, the verification page may have timed out before the authentication could be completed.
This is usually caused by browser or device settings preventing the 3DS verification page from loading correctly.
Common causes
The most common causes include:
Pop up blockers
Cross site cookies being blocked
Ad blockers or privacy extensions
VPNs or corporate network filters
Opening the merchant website inside another app, such as Gmail, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, or Instagram
Strict browser privacy settings, particularly in Safari, Brave, or Firefox
How to troubleshoot
1. Open the merchant website directly
Avoid completing the purchase inside another application.
If the merchant website opened from Gmail, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, or another app, copy the link and open it directly in your browser.
2. Try another browser
We recommend using:
Chrome
Safari
If you're already using one browser, try completing the purchase in another.
3. Enable pop ups and cross site cookies
The 3DS verification page may open in a pop up or embedded window.
Temporarily allow:
Pop ups
Cross site cookies
4. Temporarily disable browser protections
Temporarily disable:
Ad blockers
Privacy extensions
VPNs
Strict tracking prevention settings
Then retry the transaction.
5. Try another device
If you're using a phone, try completing the purchase from a computer.
If you're using a computer, try completing the purchase from your phone.
6. Use Incognito or Private Browsing
Opening the merchant website in an Incognito or Private window can help eliminate issues caused by browser extensions or saved settings.
Browser specific recommendations
Safari
Temporarily disable:
Prevent Cross Site Tracking
Block All Cookies
Then retry the transaction.
Brave or Firefox
Temporarily lower the browser's privacy or tracking protection settings for the merchant website before retrying.
