Challenge Abandonment

Overview

This method closes the authentication process for challenges that are abandoned by the merchant. Possible reasons for abandoning the challenge would be to reduce checkout friction in the event that the merchant believes the transaction is low risk or if there is no regulatory obligation for the merchant to perform the challenge. It is expected that if the merchant decides to abandon a challenge request, the AbandonedChallenges method should be called to provide insight as to why the challenge was abandoned. While this is technically optional, not informing the system of the challenge abandonment could have a negative impact on the probability of approval from the issuer for a subsequent transaction.
