Payment details

3DS2 replaces 3DS for more secure online payments - 14th March 2022

Strong Customer Authentication: what it is and how it works
Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) aims to make online payments more secure for users and reduce fraud. It is part of the Payment Service Directive (PSD2) as enforced by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Services that take payments from the EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (otherwise known as the European Economic Area, EEA), must meet SCA regulation by 31 December 2020. Services that only take payments from within the UK need to meet SCA regulation by 14 September 2021.

Services meet SCA regulation by implementing 3D Secure 2 (3DS2) or 3D Secure (3DS) that adds an extra layer of identity confirmation before the user pays so that transactions meet the SCA rules.

3DS2 replaces 3DS. 3DS transactions offer a similar level of protection for users and are compliant with SCA requirements, but 3DS2 reduces friction for users and leads to a smoother paying user experience. 3DS will also be phased out in 2022, though the exact date for this has not been confirmed.

What 3D Secure 2 means for users
3DS2 requires 2 factor authentication, and will ask users for 2 out of 3 pieces of information to complete their transaction:

something the user is, for example their fingerprint
something the user has, for example their phone
something the user knows, for example a password
Usually this means the user will have to enter a short code sent by SMS by their bank.

Transactions processed through digital wallets (such as Apple Pay or Google Pay) meet the 2 factor authentication requirements.

3DS2 will not apply to:

any transactions where either the merchant or payer is outside the EEA
merchant initiated payments, for example subscriptions
telephone payments
Some payments may be exempted from 3DS2:

low value transactions, for example for those under £30
low risk transactions when the Payment Service Provider (PSP) has low fraud levels across all its platform
corporate payments (unless the corporate card is in the name of an individual)
Which exemptions are applied will depend on your Payment Service Provider (PSP). See How to set up 3D Secure 2 for more details.

WEEE Directive

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive came into force in January 2007 and aims to both reduce the amount of ‘WEEE’ being produced and encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it. The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.

What is our responsibility?

As a retailer we are offering you, our customer, a service in which you can recycle your ‘WEEE’ instrument. We do this by offering a free ‘like for like’ take back service on all ‘WEEE’ instruments that we sell.

If you have a ‘like for like’ WEEE instrument that you would like to dispose of, then you can bring, or send, that older instrument to our shop when you are purchasing your new instrument from us.

If you are ordering your new WEEE instrument from our website and would like to send your older ‘like for like’ WEEE instrument to us for recycling, please confirm this by either emailing us oninfo@stgilesmusic.co.uk or by phone on 01604 250 905.

What is the WEEE symbol?

This is the symbol shown on all new instruments that are liable for recycling under the WEEE Directive.

Product must not be disposed of with your other household waste symbol
