Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) in MyTime enhances the security of credit card payments and reduces the risk of fraud for Stripe forms. In this article, we will explore how SCA works on the MyTime scheduler app. 

When adding a card that requires SCA to the client's profile, appointment modal, or POS on the scheduler app, you'll need to follow a few additional steps to enable client authentication for the card being added or charged.

SCA in POS

1. Log into the app. For details on how to, learn more here
2. Once signed in you will be directed to the schedule by default
3. Tap the "POS" icon at the bottom of the screen           
4. Add your client, item (product, membership, packages, services, attendee) and quantity
5. Click 'Pay' at the top right-hand corner of the screen   
6. Click +Credit Card                                                           
7. Enter the card details and then click 'Charge' in the top right-hand corner of the screen
8. A pop-up will then appear to send the verification to the client. This verification can be sent via email or SMS using the send verification dropdown > Enter the client's email address or phone number then click 'Ok'                                                    
9. An email or SMS (depending on which was selected) will be sent to the client with a link to click to complete the verification
   • When your clients receive the SMS, they will be required to click the link in the text message
   • When your clients receive the email, they will be required to click the "Complete Verification"
10. They will be directed to a new tab where they can verify the action by selecting "Verify Payment Method"                                         
11. The bank verification could be as simple as this example, but it will most likely involve entering a PIN or some other form of identification between the client and their bank. Click "Complete"                                           
12. The verification is complete and your clients will see a green confirmation message and instructions to close the window                   
13. In POS on the scheduler app, you will be presented with a line that indicates the status of the transaction:
    • Check Status: This will query the system for the current status of the transaction
    • Send Verification: This allows you to resend the verification via email/SMS to the client in case they did not receive it initially
    • Cancel: This allows you to cancel or void the transaction
14. After refreshing the page, the card will be added and charged 
15. Click "Finish" to close the ticket
