Some of you may have noticed that back in December we integrated Verified By Visa and Mastercard Secure into our checkout process. I want to briefly explain what Verified By Visa is. The information below is pretty much the same for Mastercard Secure.
During our checkout process, you will be able to sign up for Verified By Visa. Signing up takes a minute and when you do it, you choose a password. Whenever you shop on our site, you will be prompted for this password during checkout. Your Verified By Visa password works on all websites that use Verified By Visa, such as futureshop.ca. This means that if you have already signed up for it on another website, you won't have to do it again on ours. This really helps to protect against unauthorized use of your Visa card.
