Using 3D Secure (3DS) Card Authentication on the Affiliate Signup Page
About 3D Secure Authentication
For enhanced security, many banks require 3D Secure (3DS) authentication for online payments. This often involves entering a one-time password (OTP) sent by your bank to verify the transaction. This is a common requirement for cards issued in certain regions, such as India. If your trial signup fails during the payment step, your bank may be requesting this verification.
How to Complete Signup with 3DS
To ensure the 3DS process is triggered correctly, please use the following steps.
Step 1: Use the Correct Signup Link
Navigate to the dedicated affiliate signup page: .
Step 2: Start Your Trial
Begin the standard trial signup process and enter your card details when prompted.
Step 3: Complete Authentication
If your card requires 3DS, you will be redirected to your bank's secure authentication page. Follow the instructions provided by your bank, which may involve approving the transaction in your banking app or entering an OTP.
Once you successfully complete the authentication, your signup will be finalized.
Understanding the $1 Authorization
To trigger the 3DS process and verify your card, a temporary $1 authorization may be placed on your card. This is not a charge for your subscription. It is a temporary hold that should be removed by your bank according to their standard processing timeline.
Troubleshooting Failed Authentication
If you are still unable to complete the authentication, try the following:
- Ensure you are using an up-to-date web browser.
- Disable any ad blockers or browser extensions for the signup page.
- Allow pop-ups and redirects in your browser, as these are necessary for the bank's authentication page to load.
- If the verification continues to be declined, try using a different payment card.
