resolved

Dear partner, Please kindly note we have been actively monitoring the 3DS traffic in the past few weeks, along with the respective timeouts, and can confirm that the problem we experienced with our 3DS MPI service provider has been mitigated, to the best extent possible at present. In case you notice an elevated number or any peaks in failing transactions through our 3DS MPI service, please let us know as soon as possible. Note also that a few failed 3DS transactions per day caused by MPI timeouts occasionally can happen, due to the nature of the public internet. Moreover, the 3DSv2 and SCA timeframes and looming enforcement generate some friction in the ecosystem, and we’ve seen scheme directory server timeouts and issuer ACS server malfunctions, to name a few. We are actively working with any third party, be it MPI providers, issuers, acquirers, and schemes directly to offer the most robust and scalable 3DS offering in the market. Further analysis is being done on an ongoing basis, together with various optimizations we are considering. Please accept our apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Dear Valued Partner, The issue was a result of a global internet carrier (Level3/CenturyLink) dropping a significant part of the internet traffic in Europe and the USA. This impacted the Visa directory servers and thus our 3DS provider. The disruption with the Visa 3DSecure traffic is now resolved, but we will continue monitoring it to ensure that all your transactions will be completed successfully. Kind regards, Technical Support Team

identified

Dear Valued Partner, Please kindly note that we have identified temporary issues with the external 3DS provider specifically, causing all Visa 3DSecure transactions to fail with the error message "The connection to the Directory Server timed out". We have already escalated to the responsible 3DS provider team, and they are working on the resolution of the issue. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Technical Support Team

Report: "Important Notice - Credential On File"

Last update
resolved

Summary Recently, Visa and MasterCard announced updates to their requirements for the stored credential transaction framework including mandates to identify initial storage and subsequent usage of payment credentials - commonly known as Credential On File. In compliance with these requirements, the Genesis gateway platform has implemented changes to allow our merchants to provide the relevant information for applicable transactions which will be forwarded to the Card Schemes. These changes are LIVE with the latest Genesis release on July 19. What is the Credential On File Credential On File refers to transactions where the customer's payment credentials (e.g. credit card number) are being stored via Genesis Tokenization service and a transaction is created with the provided token or when the customer credentials are tokenized and stored externally by the merchant. Visa and MasterCard require that any transaction where storing and subsequent usage of the payment credentials occurs, must be flagged as such and its purpose must be provided. Does this change affect me? This affects: - Any merchant who currently stores their customer's payment credentials on their own website, and subsequently uses these credentials in the transaction submitted to the gateway. This includes creating a transaction where the payment credential provided has been saved by the merchant on their own system - Any merchant who currently uses Genesis Tokenization service to store, and subsequently use the customer's payment credentials as part of the transaction. This includes creating a transaction with a token. What do I need to do? For specific scenarios and the list of new parameters required for each, please review the latest Genesis API docs at the Downloads -> API Documentation: https://"your_subdomain".merchant.emerchantpay.net, point 1.26, Credential On File (COF) Implementation details When the merchant uses the Genesis gateway Tokenization service, the gateway will automatically submit the proper credential_on_file flag relating to its initial_customer_initiated and subsequent_customer_initiated values to the Card Schemes, so they are optional for the merchant. The merchant_unscheduled value though needs to be specified and sent by the merchant. When the merchant stores the payment data in its own system, then all the credentials_on_file values are required, including the initial_customer_initiated and subsequent_customer_initiated values which are optional with the gateway-based tokenization only.

Report: "Genesis Partial Outage"

Last update
resolved

Dear Merchants, We have been successful at restoring full capacity for our gateway platform API and applications. As of now, we are processing with full throttle - both our BER DC and AMS DC are fully functional and all internal and external services up and running. Thanks for the patience. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us at Tech-Support@eMerchantPay.com. Best regards, Tech-Support@emerchantpay.com

monitoring

Dear merchants, We are still processing with 1 DC (BER DC). All services should be stable and no processing issues should be encountered, despite the partial outage, as noted previously. We are actively working on restoring services in the AMS DC, and we expect to restore AMS DC services tomorrow, and continue processing with both our DCs in the standard active-active setup we have. We will notify about this tomorrow once finalized. Additionally, we have been extremely busy the last 2 days to restore data from the AMS DC DB cluster, which diverged from the BER DC cluster (a rare split brain scenario) during the network outage. We have implemented complex code and scripts to extract only the AMS-specific diverged data, process it, and then import it in the main DB cluster - so that no transactions, web payment form payments, etc are lost. This was executed and finished successfully an hour ago. As a result, you can now use the reconciliation services, UI, etc - all the gateway services for the previously missing data are fully available, as missing data has been imported. We advise you to not void/refund transactions in the unfortunate timeframe, as we made sure these transactions are batched in settlements with the schemes, so there should not be any financial impact. Regarding the incident itself, it was a fire in BER, that cut off all of our connectivity to both the AMS DC and FRA DC, both the primary and backup internet lines (seems lots of telco transits were affected by this). Our DC personnel have restored connectivity from BER DC to AMS DC and FRA DC via a reserved line, and are working on restoring the common transits tomorrow, along with the corresponding authorities. We apologize for the issues that have happened on 26.03, Monday. We will keep you informed as noted above. Best regards, eMerchantPay Tech Support Team

Dear Merchant, We have a severe network outage between data centers, BER is totally cut off from both AMS and FRA DCs. We have bootstrapped the DB cluster in BER PROD, and we are currently processing with limited capabilities, with one DC only, the BER one. We are confident we can support the current volume via one DC only. Updates on the networks restoration along with full processing capabilities will follow soon as we resolve.
