The Challenge
As payment technologies evolve, security standards shift just as quickly. Project Admission's executive team is committed to providing their customers with the highest level of protection while ensuring smooth, reliable checkout experiences.
With the rising risk of chargebacks and fraudulent transactions, especially for high-value ticket purchases, Project Admission wanted to proactively upgrade their payment workflows to align with Stripe's latest security requirements.
Their goal was to enable 3D Secure authentication across all transactions, protecting both their business and their customers, while maintaining a frictionless user experience.
The Solution
Before development began, Softjourn led a comprehensive discovery and definition phase to ensure full alignment on requirements, flows, and edge cases. This meticulous preparation allowed our team to design a secure, forward-compatible solution without disrupting existing business operations.
Seamless Technical Implementation
- Migration: Transitioned from Stripe Charge API to Stripe Payment Intents API.
- 3D Secure Integration: Enabled 3D Secure authentication for all ticket purchases to mitigate fraud and strengthen customer trust.
- Backward Compatibility: Ensured existing workflows remained functional while enhancing payment security.
- Collaboration with Client Team: Worked closely with Project Admission's in-house developers to coordinate dependencies and manage ongoing changes.
The Benefits
The Stripe Intents upgrade was delivered on time and deployed smoothly, giving Project Admission the tools to stay ahead of evolving fraud-prevention standards and payment compliance requirements.
- Enhanced Security: Implemented 3D Secure authentication to protect against chargebacks and fraudulent claims.
- Operational Stability: Stripe Intents is fully live and operating smoothly in production.
- Executive Confidence: The successful implementation reinforced trust between Softjourn and Project Admission, strengthening an already long-standing partnership.
- Foundation for Future Growth: With a more robust and secure payment flow, Project Admission is well-positioned to expand offerings and integrate new ticketing features in future phases.
