 * Hello. 🙂 I noticed, that some clients get their payment canceled in Braintree,
   because of something related to 3D verification. Even if they put the 3D code,
   they still get their payment failed. My plugin is connected to Braintree. So 
   I contacted Braintree and they told me, that the payment with SM goes through
   WordPress’ Tips and Tricks Braintree plugin. And that they need to change the
   website code, so that such payments to go through. Bellow I send you their explanation:
 * “These transactions were rejected because the 3D Secure authentication was returned
   with a value of authenticate_failed​​. This response generally means that the
   customer entered an incorrect 3D Secure password or they took too long to enter
   in a password value and the 3D Secure authentication timed out. It is expected
   behavior that the gateway rejects these types of 3D Secure authentications in
   order to protect your gateway from fraud.
 * That said, if you wanted to allow these transactions through even with thisauthenticate_failed​
   response, you’d just need to pass the threeDSecure.required bool as false​ in
   your transaction sale request. This parameter defaults to true for all transactions
   sent through 3D Secure verification unless you explicitly pass false. Please 
   note that liability shifted would still be false, which means that liability 
   in the case of a chargeback would not be shifted to the card-issuing bank.
 * Lastly, I’d like to provide some clarification on the difference between failed
   transactions and gateway rejected transactions. A status of Failed would indicate
   that an error occurred when sending the transaction to the processor. A gateway
   rejection, on the other hand, indicates that a transaction or verification request
   did not pass certain settings or rules that you have set up in your Braintree
   gateway.”
 * So, they need to do this bool “false“ in order that kind of transactions to go
   through. But since I use your plugin for Braintree, I don’t have “Tips and tricks”
   plugin, I guess you need to change the code?
 * Let me know what are you thinking about this? Thank you.

 * Are you running a cache plugin in your site?
 * Also can you enable debug mode. Next time another Braintree transaction is cancelled,
   please check the log file. Let us know if any errors are reported in the log 
   file.
 * Thank you.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for the link. I enabled the debug mode for both sites I use your plugin.
 * I will have those websites again up for Black Friday and would like to ask – 
   is there anything else I can do, so those lost payments to be lowered?
 * As for example, when I contacted Braintree to ask for the failed payments, they
   suggested to make “threeDSecure.required bool as false​ in your transaction sale
   request”. And they said that it needs to be done in the checkout code (here I
   assume you use Tips and tricks part of your plugin).
 * So, can I (or you) do something about this checkout code, so to allow those payments?
   Because with the debug mode I guess we could just see what Braintree noticed 
   already.
 * Below I send you what Braintree send me as information about the checkout code
   change:
 * “These transactions were rejected because the 3D Secure authentication was returned
   with a value of authenticate_failed​​. If you wanted to allow these transactions
   through even with thisauthenticate_failed​ response, you’d just need to pass 
   the threeDSecure.required bool as false​ in your transaction sale request. This
   parameter defaults to true for all transactions sent through 3D Secure verification
   unless you explicitly pass false.
 * I see that you are using WordPress’ Tips and Tricks Braintree plugin. If you’re
   not able to change your website’s code yourself, you’ll need to work with the
   Tips and Tricks Support to implement these changes to your checkout code.”

 * Hello, Just want to update, that after the blackfriday day I have 4 declined 
   payments. It just says that the bank does not allow the payment.
 * Let me know if you want me to search for other information in order to proceed
   or you can allow that kind of payments as of the method mention in my previous
   messages.
