Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Metrics type:** [Supporting Metrics](/nerve-centre/overview#metrics-types-explained) • **Category:** [Payment Gateway](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **3DS Success Rate** is a 3ds & fraud metric tracked from CyberSource data. It surfaces operational signal at the 3ds & fraud layer so merchants can spot regressions, opportunities, and structural patterns in their store performance. The card pairs with sibling metrics in the 3DS & Fraud category to build a complete diagnostic picture; cross-reference the related cards listed below for context. | | | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | 3DS Success Rate as exposed by the CyberSource integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from CyberSource, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | The metric appears in the 3DS & Fraud category and complements the sibling cards listed below. Track movement over time to identify regressions or opportunities. | | **Reading the value** | Compare the current period to the prior period to identify direction. Cross-reference siblings for the full diagnostic picture. | | **Currency** | percent | | **Time window** | `30D vsP` | | **Alert trigger** | `<85%` | | **Sentiment key** | `cs_3ds_success_rate` | | **Roles** | owner, operations | ## Calculation Calculated automatically from your CyberSource data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **3DS Success Rate** for a typical merchant on CyberSource.* The card reports the current period value alongside a comparison against the previous period. Direction matters: rising values may be healthy or concerning depending on the underlying metric. Cross-reference the siblings below to triangulate cause when the value moves outside expected range. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | [`cs_3ds_abandon_rate`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/cybersource/3ds-challenge-abandon-rate) | 3DS & Fraud sibling: 3DS Challenge Abandon Rate. | | [`cs_3ds_frictionless`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/cybersource/3ds-frictionless-volume) | 3DS & Fraud sibling: 3DS Frictionless Volume. | | [`cs_3ds_total`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/cybersource/3ds-authenticated-transactions) | 3DS & Fraud sibling: 3DS-Authenticated Transactions. | | [`cs_fraud_score_distribution`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/cybersource/decision-manager-score-mix) | 3DS & Fraud sibling: Decision Manager Score Mix. | | [`cs_alert_3ds_failure`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/cybersource/3ds-failure-alert) | Nerve Centre sibling: 3DS Failure Alert. | ## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard **Where to look in CyberSource's own dashboard:** The CyberSource dashboard surfaces this metric (or its components) under the relevant report section. Confirm period boundaries and filter settings match the Vortex IQ profile to reconcile cleanly. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | | **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses 30-day rolling by default; vendor dashboards may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Time zone.** Vendor uses account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. | | **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (channel, B2B, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view. | Variable | Match filter settings. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does 3DS Success Rate update?** The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). For real-time signals, force a manual refresh from the dashboard. **Q: Why does my CyberSource dashboard show a different number?** The most common reasons are period-boundary differences (Vortex IQ uses 30-day rolling vs vendor's calendar months), time-zone alignment, and filter scope (profile-level vs vendor's all-account view). Match these settings before assuming a real divergence. **Q: How does 3DS Success Rate relate to other 3ds & fraud metrics?** Track this card alongside the siblings listed above to build a complete picture. Single-metric reads can mislead; the diagnostic value is in the cross-reference. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** Yes, alert thresholds are configurable per profile in the Alert Rules tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *3DS Success Rate* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across CyberSource and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
