2019-09-13 Sketchboard supports Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) that is required for European credit card payments. SCA is a new European regulation to reduce fraud and make online payments more secure.
Sketchboard customers that use European credit cards might need to authenticate subscription payment on first time payment. Your bank might request you to confirm subscription payments made later as well. In this case, Stripe sends an email that contains a link to confirm the payment for Sketchboard.
