Running Payer Authentication with SDK

The payer authentication process in SDK requires checking whether a customer is participating in a card authentication program. If the customer is enrolled in payer authentication, you validate their current status in the program and authorize the transaction. The following procedures describe how to ensure the correct data values are passed during the payer authentication process.
