Allow Prepaid cards: Enabling this option allows your customers to use a prepaid card for their transactions.
Cards verification: This option is enabled by default to validate your customers' cards by doing a test authorization. An amount of $0 is deducted from the customers' card to collect mandatory information from Cybersource and for the integration to work properly. This amount will be refunded immediately. Cards that do not pass this validation, will not be added.
Always retain card information in CyberSource when the customer updates it: If you have configured multiple payment gateways in Chargebee, enabling this option stores the updated card information in CyberSource rather than the default gateway.
Enable 3D Secure: Check with your gateway whether Payment Authentication for 3DS is enabled for your account. If not, enable it at your gateway and then in Chargebee. Also, make sure you complete the SCA checklist in Chargebee before accepting 3DS payments. This is to ensure that you can recover failed payments easily, without compromising your revenue.
