how can i know if a website has 3ds or 2ds technology?

how can someone explain to me how one as a carder can identify if our victim has 3ds or 2ds technology.

You can find out what technology 3DS or 2DS a site uses by the following signs:

1. 3D Secure is a technology that allows you to protect online payments from fraud. If you want to know whether a site supports this technology, you can pay attention to the presence of the Masterсard SecureCode and/or Verified by Visa logos on the site or on the payment page. If these logos are present, this means that the site uses 3D Secure technology to protect payments. If there are no logos, then perhaps the site does not support this technology.



2. By testing. When paying with a generated card, a window or page for entering the OTP code will open.

3. When paying with a generated card, when redirecting the page for entering card details or an OTP code, you will see the name "3D" in the address bar of the page.

4. Enter the website address in the builtwith.com service and you will find out which payment gateway the site uses.

5. Enter the address of the desired site on the services that show similar sites in terms of content and traffic. Most likely, they will have a similar merchant (payment gateway).

6. Find the payment gateway (merchant) in this thread: 2D Merchants (payment gateways) with comments
Search for sites in search engines for the desired merchant.

7. When trying to pay with a card from vbv bins, a window or page for entering the OTP code will not appear.

How to know if a site is 2DS or 3DS?​

Why 2DS Sites Are Your Go-To​

2DS secure sites keep it simple with CVV and AVS checks, no 3DS bank redirects (for OTP or PIN checks) that burn your cards. Here’s the deal:

• No OTP Hassle: 2DS skips bank auths, letting non-VBV bins slide through.
• Light Fraud Checks: PCI DSS basics, no heavy 3DS AI sniffing.
• VBV Friendly: Cards that have 3d secure enabled go through without 3ds on these websites.
• Quick Orders: Checkout flows fast without 3DS pop-ups.

How to Spot a 2DS Secure Site​

Step 1: Look for 2DS/3DS Logos​

• Check the website’s footer, checkout, or app for security badges.
• 2DS Clues: “PCI DSS Compliant” or generic “Secure Checkout” — no “Verified by Visa” or “Mastercard SecureCode.”
• 3DS Red Flags: “3D Secure” or bank logos (e.g., Amex SafeKey) — bail if you see them.
• Test a $5 cart to confirm — no OTP means 2DS.

Step 2: Check PCI DSS Compliance​

• 2DS sites stick to PCI DSS (basic card data protection) without 3DS extras.
• Scope “Security” or “About” pages for “PCI DSS certified” mentions.
• No PCI DSS badge? Might be too loose — test small or skip.

Step 3: Spot Encryption Tech​

• 2DS sites use HTTPS (browser padlock) but often roll with older SSL, not fancy TLS 1.3.
• Right-click > “View Page Source”; search “SSL” or “TLS” — older SSL hints at 2DS.
• 3DS sites brag about “advanced encryption” in policies — avoid ‘em.

Step 4: Find Security Seals​

• Look for third-party seals (e.g., Norton Secured, McAfee Secure) in the footer.
• 2DS sites might rock basic seals but skip “3DS Certified” badges.
• No seals? Could be a raw 2DS gem—test with a small order.

Step 5: Check for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)​

• 2DS sites rarely demand 2FA at checkout—just card details and CVV.
• 3DS sites push 2FA (SMS or bank OTP) during payment — big no-go.
• Add a $3 item to cart; if checkout wants OTP, it’s 3DS — bounce.
• Target Niche Sites: Smaller fashion or electronics shops often stick to 2DS — avoid giants like Walmart.

In these cases, when I say add a cart, try with as many inconsistencies as possible. Like using a tor/free vpn. Give the issuer bank as many reasons to give you a challenge.
