 * Greetings.
   Lately, I’ve been having problems with some clients in France. Their
   payments aren’t being accepted, neither by card nor directly from their accounts.
   I’ve requested support from PayPal, but it’s been terrible and to no avail. They
   expect my numerous clients to request support from PayPal France for this problem,
   which isn’t a solution.One of them consulted with their bank and was told it 
   was a DSP2 issue.Below is the response the bank gave my client:
 * > “European standard DSP2 requires that the merchant present the transaction 
   > with strong authentication (Sécuripass/Sécuricode). This is not the case for
   > this transaction. Solution: The problem originates from the merchant’s website;
   > the client must renew their account or contact the merchant directly.”
 * I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the plugin or some setting… Thanks for your
   help.

 * Hi [@yuliandesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yuliandesign/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us, we are here to help.
 * This is a PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) issue. The plugin supports
   3D Secure (3DS) to meet SCA, but it must be configured correctly. French banks
   often require SCA, so if the transaction isn’t presented with 3DS, it’s declined.
 * However, we require your full system status report to investigate further. Please
   follow these steps to share your system status report with us:
    1. Navigate to the `WooCommerce / Status` section in your site’s admin panel.
    2. Click on the `Get system report` button and then click `Copy for support`.
    3. Paste the report into our [PrivateBin](http://privatebin.syde.com/).
    4. After uploading, please share the link here so we can review the details thoroughly.
 * Alternatively, to speed up the whole process we suggest you to contact us directly
   for further assistance. You can open a ticket with our service desk. Here’s how
   you can request support: [Request Support](https://paypal.inpsyde.com/docs/request-support/).
   Please make sure to include the URL of this thread in your ticket for reference.
 * Best Regards,
   Jamie

 * I’ve also run many tests with the PayPal sandbox using test cards in “**3D Secure
   test scenarios.**” Sometimes the payment is processed, and sometimes it isn’t.
   I tested the cards listed under “**Test Case 1: Successful Frictionless Authentication**”
   for “**France**.”
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Visa: 4147044347484424Mastercard: 5131016099426568CB Visa: 4973730096543597CB Mastercard: 5294692013549108Amex: 377451301969853
       ```
   
    1. I try to pay with one of my valid PayPal cards (Visa: <code class=””>4147044347484424),
       and the result is the following error:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Failed to process the payment. Please try again or contact the shop admin. [UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation. https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/reference/orders/v2/errors/#INSTRUMENT_DECLINED
       ```
   
 * 2. Then, on the same interface, I try to pay with one of the cards I’ve already
   verified works (4020028203878540 — 01/2028 — 095), and this time it gives an 
   error. It’s as if something is stuck in the temporary files.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Unfortunately your order cannot be processed as the originating bank/merchant has declined your transaction. Please attempt your purchase again.
       ```
