eMerchantPay incident
emerchantpay - temporary issues with the external 3DS provider - Visa related
Resolved after 2 hours 20 minutes, affecting Genesis - web payment form (PRODUCTION) and Genesis - API (PRODUCTION), on August 30, 2020.
Dear Valued Partner, The issue was a result of a global internet carrier (Level3/CenturyLink) dropping a significant part of the internet traffic in Europe and the USA. This impacted the Visa directory servers and thus our 3DS provider. The disruption with the Visa 3DSecure traffic is now resolved, but we will continue monitoring it to ensure that all your transactions will be completed successfully. Kind regards, Technical Support Team
