Safe online shopping
It’s important to keep your customers safe when they shop online – whether it’s before, during, or after they have made a payment.
Online payments must be authorised
Customers who shop online using your payment solution need to authorise their card payments before they will be confirmed. This is due to stricter EU rules regarding online commerce designed to reduce the risk of cards being misused.
Customers must authorise online card payments using either their:
- MitID app
- A personal password plus SMS access code.
If the customer does not have at least one of these options ready when they want to pay, the purchase will likely not go through.
Note: Online payments cannot yet be authorised with the MitID code viewer or MitID code reader.
Personal password for online shopping
When paying online with Visa/Dankort, your customers may need a personal password to authorise payments.
For example, if a customer uses their card to pay for in-app purchases – such as games, clothes, or groceries – they cannot use MitID to authorise the payment. Instead, they must use a personal password and SMS access code.
