# Import 3D Secure results

Importing 3DS results is an advanced payment flow that enables you to use external 3DS authentication with your **Juspay Hyperswitch** payments. Instead of running authentication within Hyperswitch, you can pass the completed authentication outcome directly into the payment flow.

This approach is required when you use a third party provider to perform 3DS. In such cases, you can submit the card details and authentication cryptogram directly through the [Payment Create API](https://api-reference.hyperswitch.io/v1/payments/payments--create#body-three-ds-data), rather than relying on Hyperswitch SDK to collect payment information and execute 3DS.

### Process a payment

1. Make a [Payments Create API](https://api-reference.hyperswitch.io/v1/payments/payments--create#body-three-ds-data) call with the external 3d Secure (3DS) data

```javascript
// Pass the authentication data in the Payments Create call
 "three_ds_data": {
        "authentication_cryptogram": {
            "cavv": {
                "authentication_cryptogram": "3q2+78r+ur7erb7vyv66vv////8="
            }
        },
        "ds_trans_id": "c4e59ceb-a382-4d6a-bc87-385d591fa09d",
        "version": "2.1.0",
        "eci": "05",
        "transaction_status": "Y",
        "exemption_indicator": "low_value"
    }
```

2. All [standard payment flows](https://docs.hyperswitch.io/integration-guide/payment-suite/payments) are supported even when you import external 3DS results
