Hi, we use EE on a customer website and Stripe have been in touch regard the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

Their email read:

We’re writing to let you know about required changes to your Stripe integration to prepare for new European regulation. Starting 14 September, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulation will require two-factor authentication on many payments in Europe. Payments without SCA may be declined. You’ll need to update your integration by 14 September in order to avoid an increase in declined charges.

If you charge your customers when they’re not actively using your application (i.e., off-session, as with a subscription, a crowdfunding campaign, or a card saved for a travel reservation) your customers may need to authenticate when saving the payment method. We’ve released updates to our APIs to support this use case.

With this update, all businesses will find the set of APIs they need to update their integration to be SCA ready. We recommend starting your update soon to ensure that you have ample time to test your updated integration before September.

Visit the Dashboard to learn more about how your business is impacted by SCA and what changes you’ll need to make to get ready.

Can you advise what the state of play with EE and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is?

Thanks
