Overview

The 3DS-Web SDK is a JavaScript/TypeScript library designed to simplify the implementation of 3DS (3D Secure) authentication processes in web applications. It provides a streamlined interface for handling both the session creation and challenge steps of the 3DS process.

The 3DS-Web SDK exposes two main methods: createSession and startChallenge. These methods facilitate the initiation and handling of 3DS sessions and challenges.

Methods

createSession

createSession({ pan }: Create3dsSessionRequest): Promise<Create3dsSessionResponse>

This method initiates a 3DS session by making a request to the server with the provided PAN (Primary Account Number). It returns a promise that resolves to a Create3dsSessionResponse object containing session details.

startChallenge

startChallenge(options: ThreeDSChallengeRequest): Promise<void>

This method starts a 3DS challenge by making a request to the ACS (Access Control Server) with the necessary parameters. It handles the challenge process and returns a promise.

Usage Examples

Creating a 3DS Session

import { BasisTheory3ds } from '3ds-web';

const apiKey = 'your_api_key';
const { createSession } = BasisTheory3ds(apiKey);

const session = await createSession({
  pan: '<BASIS_THEORY_TOKEN_ID>',
});

Start Challenge

import { BasisTheory3ds } from '3ds-web';

const apiKey = 'your_api_key';
const { startChallenge } = BasisTheory3ds(apiKey);

await startChallenge({
  sessionId: 'session_id',
  acsTransactionId: 'acs_transaction_id',
  acsChallengeUrl: 'acs_challenge_url',
  threeDSVersion: '2.2.0',
  windowSize: '05', // Optional, defaults to 'THREE'
});

Configuration Options

Challenge Request

challengeContainerOptions allows you to customize the id property of the 3DS challenge container so you can target it and apply styling using CSS. It enables precise positioning of the 3DS challenge interface within your app's layout.

const { startChallenge } = BasisTheory3ds(apiKey, {
  challengeConfigurationOptions: {
    id: 'customId',
  },
});
