Authentication = PAAY's 3DS solution determined that the cardholder is not fraudulent. Their identity was verified by the card issuer. This happens BEFORE the transaction information is sent to the gateway or to the processor for authorization. All transactions that are authenticated by 3DS receive a chargeback liability shift.
Authorization = The transaction was successfully sent through for processing.
