SEPA Direct Debit for API only

Accept SEPA Direct Debit payments using our APIs, and build your own payment form to have full control over the look and feel of your checkout page.

Requirements

Build your payment form for SEPA Direct Debit

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

1. Show a list of available payment methods to your shopper and include SEPA in the list.

2. After the shopper selects SEPA, render the input fields for SEPA to collect their issuer selection. You'll need this to make a payment.

   Payment details	Example
   The name on the SEPA bank account.	"A Schneider"
   The IBAN of the bank account.	"DE87123456781234567890"

Make a payment

In your /payments request, specify:

• paymentMethod.type: sepadirectdebit
• paymentMethod.sepa.ownerName: The name on the SEPA bank account.
• paymentMethod.sepa.ibanNumber: The IBAN of the bank account. Make sure that you do not encrypt this value.
• reference: Your unique reference for this payment.

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:

Capture the payment

If you do not use automatic capture, you must capture the payment in one of the following ways:

• Use delayed automatic capture. This means that the payment is captured automatically after a delay that you can set yourself.
• Manually capture the payment by making a /payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures request.

SEPA Direct Debit authorizations do not expire, so you can capture a payment any time after it is authorized.

Contact our Support Team to enable multiple partial captures for SEPA Direct Debit.

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 0.01.
• storePaymentMethod: true
• shopperReference: your unique identifier for the shopper (minimum length three characters). Do not include personally identifiable information (PII), such as name or email address.
• recurringProcessingModel: Subscription or UnscheduledCardOnFile

  From Checkout v70, recurringProcessingModel is a required parameter when creating or using a token.

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 recurring payment

For each recurring payment for this shopper, make a SEPA payment to the /payments endpoint, specifying:

• paymentMethod.type: sepadirectdebit
• paymentMethod.storedPaymentMethodId: The pspReference from the RECURRING_CONTRACT webhook. You can also get this value using the /listRecurringDetails endpoint.
• shopperReference: The shopper ID you provided when you created the shopper token.
• shopperInteraction: ContAuth.

• recurringProcessingModel: Subscription or UnscheduledCardOnFile.

  From Checkout v70, recurringProcessingModel is a required parameter when creating or using a token.

For more information about the shopperInteraction and recurringProcessingModel fields, refer to Tokenization.

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.
