How to prevent fraud in card payments
The Mercado Pago Antifraude Plus is an add-on for Mercado Pago Cards that optimizes security validation and maintains high approval rates, adding more security by identifying the device ID of buyers and preventing fraud and chargebacks.
The app uses 3DS 2.0 (3-D Secure) technology to authenticate credit card transactions before completing the payment, verifying whether the person making the purchase is actually the cardholder or has access to the cardholder's accounts. Check 3DS 2.0 for more information on how this type of authentication works.
