Cost+ supports credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Maestro), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Vipps/MobilePay. Specific payment methods must be activated on your account before use.

No, Apple Pay cannot be tested in sandbox/test mode. This is an Apple restriction. To test Apple Pay you need a physical Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac with biometric authentication), a valid card registered in Apple Wallet, and a live (production) Cost+ project account.

We support Visa (Credit/Debit), Mastercard (Credit/Debit), Amex (Credit) and Maestro (Debit). These same brands are also supported through Apple Pay and Google Pay.

3D Secure (3DS) adds an extra layer of authentication to card transactions. When a customer pays, they may be asked to verify their identity through their bank (via SMS code, app notification, or biometric). 3DS is included at no additional cost with Cost+ and helps shift fraud liability away from the merchant. It is automatically applied to card transactions processed through our Hosted Payment Page, but can be excluded or dynamic upon request.
