Secure Payments, Seamless Checkouts

Secure Payments, Seamless Checkouts

October 06, 20251 min read

Payment security is a must — but it shouldn’t come at the cost of a smooth checkout experience.
That’s why this update expands
3D Secure (3DS) support to include NMI and Square, creating faster, more reliable transactions for you and your clients.

3DS adds an extra layer of authentication when customers make online payments.
It’s designed to protect both sides of the transaction — the buyer verifies their identity, and you stay protected from fraudulent charges or failed payments.
The downside? Traditionally, these extra steps could break the flow.

Now, that’s a thing of the past.

With the new update inside Gold Star Pro, every 3DS check runs automatically in the background — so payments stay secure and seamless, even when verification is required.


Here’s what’s new

  • Square: No setup needed. Just works. 3DS will automatically trigger during checkout based on card type and region.

  • NMI: A simple one-time setup is all it takes. Add your Checkout Public Key for 3DS in your NMI Merchant Portal, and Gold Star Pro handles the rest.

  • Expanded Coverage: 3DS was already supported on Stripe and Custom Providers — now it’s available on NMI and Square, with more gateways coming soon.

  • Automatic Handling: Once configured, customers see a clean, branded verification pop-up and complete their payment without confusion.


Why this matters

This improvement means:

  • Fewer failed or declined payments — verified transactions go through faster and more consistently.

  • Compliance built in — stay aligned with regional 3DS requirements automatically.

  • Happier clients — no more clunky redirects or error messages.

  • Less setup work for you — configure once and you’re done.

By combining high-level security with a cleaner flow, this update makes online payments more trustworthy for your clients and less stressful for you.
