<img src="/files/UK9VnUPa6AXN1rprulvB" alt="All 3-D Secure flows has the following steps, some of them don’t need validation, some of them need it." class="gitbook-drawing">

#### Integration Workflow

1. Call our **Setup** endpoint to initialize the process
2. Implement **Cardinal Songbird SDK** for device data capture
3. Call our **Check Enroll** endpoint with collected device data
4. Handle the three possible outcomes:
   * **Success**: Proceed directly to authorization
   * **Pending**: Show challenge modal, then call **Validate** endpoint
   * **Failed**: Handle declined transaction
5. Use authentication results for **Authorization** with your chosen payment method
