SEPA Direct Debit Android Component

Our SEPA Direct Debit Component renders SEPA Direct Debit in your payment form, where shoppers provide their account holder name and IBAN, and then review and confirm the payment.

Before you begin

This page explains how to add SEPA Direct Debit to your existing Android Components integration. The Android Components integration works the same way for all payment methods. If you haven't done this integration yet, refer to our Components integration guide.

Before starting your SEPA Direct Debit integration:

1. Make sure that you have set up your back end implementation for making API requests.
2. Contact our Support Team, and ask them to add SEPA Direct Debit to your account.

Show SEPA Direct Debit in your payment form

To show SEPA Direct Debit Component in your payment form, you need to:

1. Specify in your /paymentMethods request:
   • countryCode: Country where SEPA Direct Debit is supported. For example, NL.
   • amount.currency: EUR
2. Deserialize the response from the /paymentMethods call and get the object with type: sepadirectdebit.

3. Add the SEPA Direct Debit Component:

   a. Import the SEPA Direct Debit Component to your build.gradle file.

   implementation "com.adyen.checkout:sepa:<latest-version>"

   Check the latest version on GitHub.

   b. Create an sepaConfiguration object:

   val sepaConfiguration =
   SepaConfiguration.Builder(context, "YOUR_CLIENT_KEY")
       // When you're ready to accept live payments, change the value to one of our live environments.
       .setEnvironment(Environment.TEST)
       .build()

   c. Initialize the SEPA Direct Debit Component. Pass the payment method object and the sepaConfiguration object.

   val sepaComponent = SepaComponent.PROVIDER.get(this@YourActivity, paymentMethod, sepaConfiguration)

   d. Add the SEPA Direct Debit Component view to your layout.

   <com.adyen.checkout.sepa.SepaView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

   e. Attach the Component to the view to start getting your shopper's payment details.

   sepaView.attach(sepaComponent, this@YourActivity)

   f. When shoppers enter their payment details, you start receiving updates. If isValid is true and the shopper proceeds to pay, pass the paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod to your server and make a payment request.

   sepaComponent.observe(this) { paymentComponentState ->
     if (paymentComponentState?.isValid == true) {
        // When the shopper proceeds to pay, pass the `paymentComponentState.data` to your server to send a /payments request
        sendPayment(paymentComponentState.data)
     }
   }

Make a payment

When the shopper proceeds to pay, the Component returns the paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod.

1. Pass the paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod to your server.
2. From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:
   • paymentMethod.type: The paymentComponentState.data.paymentMethod from your client app.

The /payments response contains:

• resultCode: Received.
• pspReference: Adyen's unique reference number for the payment.

Present the payment result

Use the  resultCode that you received in the /payments response to present the payment result to your shopper.

The resultCode values you can receive for SEPA Direct Debit are:

resultCode	Description	Action to take
Received	The payment was successfully received.	You will receive a AUTHORISATION webhook when the status of the payment has been updated. If successful, you will receive the funds in 2 days.
Authorised	The payment was successfully completed.	Inform the shopper that the payment was successful.

Recurring payments

If you have a recurring or subscription business model we recommend tokenizing the shopper's payment details. When you create a shopper token from a SEPA payment, we store their payment details with the token. The token can be used to make recurring payments for the shopper.

You can create a shopper token and then make subsequent recurring payments with the token using the  /payments endpoint.

Create shopper token

To create a token, include in your /payments request:

• amount: The transaction must have a minimum value of EUR&nbsp0.01.
• recurringProcessingModel: Subscription, CardOnFile, or UnscheduledCardOnFile
• storePaymentMethod: true
• shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters).

When the payment is settled, you receive a RECURRING_CONTRACT webhook containing:

• eventCode: RECURRING_CONTRACT
• originalReference: The pspReference of the initial payment.

• pspReference: This is the token that you need to make recurring payments for this shopper.

  Make sure that your server is able to receive RECURRING_CONTRACT as part of your standard webhooks. You can enable the RECURRING_CONTRACT event code in the webhook settings page.

Make recurring payment

For each recurring payment for this shopper, make a SEPA payment with a  /payments call, and additionally include:

• storedPaymentMethodId: The pspReference from the RECURRING_CONTRACT webhook.

  You can also get this value by using the /listRecurringDetails endpoint.

• shopperReference: The shopper ID you provided when created the shopper token.
• shopperInteraction: ContAuth.
• recurringProcessingModel: Subscription or UnscheduledCardOnFile.

For more information about the shopperInteraction and recurringProcessingModel fields, refer to Recurring transaction types.

If the payment was successfully received the response will contain a Received resultCode and a pspReference, which is our unique identifier for this transaction. You can track whether the payment was successful using webhooks.

Chargebacks

If a shopper for some reason wants the funds from a payment returned, they can ask their bank for a refund. This is referred to as a chargeback.

For SEPA, the chargeback process gives significant consumer rights to the shopper. They have:

• Eight weeks to dispute a SEPA payment without providing a reason.
• Thirteen months to dispute an unauthorised or incorrect SEPA payment when they provide evidence to their bank.

A SEPA chargeback notification can indicate that:

• The shopper disputed the charge.
• There were insufficient funds in the shopper's bank account.
• The bank account was inactive.
• Direct debit is blocked on this bank account, either in general or for this creditor specifically.
• There was a technical error.

For a list of detailed SEPA chargeback reasons and reason codes, see Dispute reason codes.

A chargeback webhook contains:

• pspReference: Adyen's unique reference associated with the payment request.
• eventCode: CHARGEBACK.
• reason: Reason for the chargeback.
• success: true.

Here is an example of a webhook that indicates a SEPA chargeback because there were insufficient funds in the shopper's bank account.
