Identifying the SCA Status

This section provides details of how to check the SCA status of a transaction.

Identifying the SCA Status In EHI

You can use messages received from the External Host Interface (EHI)Closed The External Host Interface provides a facility to enable exchange of data between Thredd and external systems via our web services. All transaction data processed by Thredd is transferred to the External Host side via EHI in real time. For certain types of transactions, such as Authorisations, the External Host can participate in payment transaction authorisation. to identify the SCA status of a transaction.

If you do not have access to EHI, please contact your Account Manager, who can advise you on bespoke reports that may be available.

Identifying if a transaction is Point of Sale (POS) or e-commerce (remote)

Use the EHI field GPS_POS_Data. Positions 1, 2 and 3 provide information about the type of transaction.

For more information, see the EHI Guide > GPS_POS_Data.

Identifying if Thredd considered the transaction SCA

The EHI GPS_POS_Data field positions relevant to SCA include: 18,19,20,21,22,23,25 and 26.

If the transaction is flagged as non-SCA, then the exemption that permitted the non-SCA transaction is specified in the EHI GPS_POS_Data field ExemptFromSCA indicator.

For more information, see the EHI Guide > GPS_POS_Data.

If 3D Secure occurred and Thredd considered the 3D Secure transaction as SCA, then the transaction will be automatically flagged as having passed the SCA Knowledge and Possession tests.
