How to activate 3D Secure (Merchant Warrior)

Reduce fraudulent bookings with 3D Secure technology to validate the credit card with the issuing bank. This article will explain how to activate 3D Secure with Merchant Warrior via Homhero.

Step 1. Enable 3DS in Merchant Warrior
Email [e-mail] to request 3D Secure to be enabled in your merchant account. If you're not yet using Merchant Warrior but are interested in this payment gateway, you can easily sign up through our custom registration form for Homhero here: https://www.merchantwarrior.com/homhero-register. 

Step 2. Contact Homhero Support
Once 3DS is enabled in your merchant account, please forward the Merchant Warrior confirmation of 3DS activation to Homhero Support. Homhero will confirm if everything is setup correctly before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3. Activate Payment Service
Homhero Support will enable Payment Service in the Market Place.

Note: Activating Payment Service will allow you to enter in your merchant warrior api details into our new Payment Service. At this point, the Payment Gateway Settings from the Payment Method Settings will be removed, therefore you will not be able to process payments during the changeover.

Step 4. Add Payment Gateway
Once Payment Service is visible in the Market Place, you will need to complete the Merchant Warrior payment gateway setup.

This can be completed as per the following steps:

1. Click Market Place from the Homhero side menu.
2. Under Payments Apps, locate and select the Payment Service Icon.
3. Turn the Active toggle on.
4. Choose Merchant Warrior as the payment gateway.
5. Assign this as the Default payment gateway.
6. Enter a Description for this payment gateway.
7. Add API Key.
8. Add API Pass.
9. Add Merchant ID.
10. Listings - This is where you would assign specific listings to this payment gateway. You would only assign specific listings in a situation where you would like funds from reservations to go into a different bank account. If you would like this to apply to all listings, you can leave as is and it will displays as ''All Unallocated Listings''.
11. Once completed, click Save New.
12. Repeat the steps if you are setting up multiple payment gateways.
    
    Please Note: Homhero will automatically verify if the API credentials are successful upon clicking Save. Please contact Homhero Support if you are having issues verifying your payment gateway.
    
    
    
    
    

Step 5. Activate 3DS in Homhero
Once your payment gateway/s are active, contact HomHero Support who can verify 3DS support on your MW account and switch over use of the new 3DS enabled payment service. 

3DS support can also be applied to security deposit and pre-authorisation payments, however this is an optional setting and can only be updated by Homhero Support upon request.
