Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), a new rule coming into effect on September 14, 2019, as part of PSD2 regulation in Europe, will require changes to how your European customers authenticate online payments.
In order to comply with the new regulations, all Terminal users accepting payments with Stripe must connect their Stripe accounts with Terminal before the above mentioned date. Failure to do so will result in an increased rate of failed transactions for your customers.
Connecting your account with Terminal can be done in 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Update Stripe API Version to the latest release
Log in to your stripe account. On the dashboard, select Developers on the main navigation menu. If you're not using the latest version of the API, you should see the blue Upgrade available button as shown in the image below. Click it and confirm the upgrade.
