Additional Information

  • Model A supports ready for settlement in general. Be aware that there is always a risk of chargeback, even when funds have been received for a transaction. We communicate these chargebacks to you via the SFTP reporting interface. See SFTP access to reconciliation files. Besides this inherent risk, ready for settlement works exactly as it does for other payment methods.
  • Model A supports various sequence types to allow recurring direct debit. This decision defines whether the transaction is synchronous or not.
  • For sequence types oneOff and first: like in most payment methods, you must redirect the consumer to the redirect URL received in the response. In case the consumer accepts the SEPA direct debit mandate, send a copy of the mandate to the address provided in specin.email. This changes the state of the transaction to SUCCEEDED. For sequence type first, store the output SPECOUT.MANDATEREFERENCE to send the same reference on recurring payments.
  • For sequence types recurring and final: the previously-stored mandate reference must be passed as specin.mandatereference. The parameter specin.mandatesignaturedate must be the date of the initial transaction (sequence type first), i.e. the day on which the mandate was signed. Both are mandatory input and serve as proof that the consumer signed the recurring payment mandate. If all input is valid, a copy of the mandate will be sent to the address provided in specin.email and the transaction call returns the state SUCCEEDED immediately.
  • Transactions may change from any state, especially from FAILED to a SUCCEEDED state at any time. SUCCEEDED itself is considered a stable state (see also Important note about transaction states).
  • You are informed through PPRO’s processing files when the funds are received or a chargeback occurred.

❗️

Warning

We don't advise using test data to test SEPA Direct Debit transactions in PPRO’s live environment. Any technically succeeded SEPA Direct Debit transaction(s) with this data will lead to chargebacks that cannot be prevented, refunded, or reversed.

To avoid unnecessary chargebacks, we highly recommend using real consumer data with a real bank account for live testing SEPA Direct Debit.

FAQ

Can I customize the PPRO mandate page?

No. PPRO does not offer any customization options for the mandate page. If you need to use a custom mandate page, we recommend you use SEPA Direct Debit Model C.
