Direct Debit SEPA

Introduction

Direct Debit SEPA is a payment method which allows you to process payments in euros by using bank accounts in the SEPA countries. This method allows funds to be debited directly from the bank accounts of customers. This method supports COF purchases and refunds.

This article provides information about working with the Direct Debit SEPA method: general insights are presented in the Overview section, while information about the actions required to process payments and perform other actions is presented in the sections that follow.

General information

Interaction diagram

Payment processing by using the Direct Debit SEPA method involves the merchant's web service, one of ecommpay interfaces, the ecommpay payment platform, and technical facilities of the provider service.

Operations support

Various platform interfaces can be used to process payments and perform operations using the Direct Debit SEPA method. Purchases can be processed by using Payment Page, Gate and Dashboard (using payment links), refunds—by using Gate and Dashboard.

Processing scenarios

To perform a purchase by using the Direct Debit SEPA method, you need to redirect the customer to the Direct Debit SEPA service, while to make a refund, you need to receive a request from the customer and notify the customer about the result of the refund via the web service.

General information

When using Payment Page and the Direct Debit SEPA method, you can register COF purchases of two types:

• Regular purchase—regular automatic debits are carried out according to a schedule passed to the platform (details). In this case, automatic debiting is used, without additional actions on the part of the merchant.
• Autopurchase—debits are initiated by the web service by sending requests based on specified rules (details). In this case, to debit funds, each time a separate Gate request is required (details).

At the same time, you can register a COF purchase of any of these types either with or without an initial debit of funds. Please note that for registration without the initial debit the directdebit payment type is used, and for registration with the first debit the purchase type is used.

To register a COF purchase through Payment Page by using the Direct Debit SEPA method, the merchant's web service is required to send a request with all required parameters and signature to the ecommpay URL and receive a callback with the registration result.

Information about the formats of requests and callbacks used for registering purchases by using the Direct Debit SEPA method via Payment Page is presented further in this section; general information about working with the Payment Page API is presented in Interaction concepts.

Request format for registration without the initial debit of funds

When registering a COF purchase without the initial debit, the directdebit payment type is used, within which the following types of operations can be performed: contract registration, recurring update (only when for regular purchases), recurring cancel (only for regular purchases). There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase registration requests by using the Direct Debit SEPA method:

1. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified:
   • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
   • payment_id—payment identifier unique within the project
   • payment_currency—payment currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • payment_amount—payment amount, the 0 value must be specified
   • customer_id—customer identifier unique within the project
2. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified: project_id, payment_id, payment_currency, payment_amount, customer_id.
3. Additionally, it is necessary to specify the first and last names of the customer in the parameters customer_first_name and customer_last_name, as well as the directdebit-sepa method code in the force_payment_method parameter and the card_verify value in the mode parameter.
4. To register a COF purchase, you must specify a recurring object containing the registration attribute and the necessary information. The Direct Debit SEPA method supports two types of COF purchases: U (autopurchase) and R (regular purchase). To register regular payments, the request must contain information about the frequency, amount, and beginning and end time of debits of funds. The full list of parameters that can be specified in the recurring object is presented in the COF purchase registration section.
5. Additionally, any other parameters available for working with Payment Page can be used (details).
6. After all target parameters are specified, generate a signature (details).

Thus, a correct request for opening the payment form using the Direct Debit SEPA method must contain the project identifier, basic payment information (identifier, amount, and currency code), customer and COF purchase information, as well as signature.

Request format for registration with the initial debit of funds

When registering a COF purchase with the initial debit, the purchase payment type is used, within which the following types of operations can be performed: sale, reversal, refund, contract registration, recurring update (only for regular purchases) and recurring cancel (only for regular purchases).

There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase registration requests by using the Direct Debit SEPA method:

1. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified:
   • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
   • payment_id—payment identifier unique within the project
   • payment_currency—payment currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • payment_amount—payment amount in the smallest currency unit
   • customer_id—customer identifier unique within the project
2. The following parameters required for any payment must be specified: project_id, payment_id, payment_currency, payment_amount, customer_id.
3. Additionally, it is necessary to specify the first and last names of the customer in the parameters customer_first_name and customer_last_name.
4. To register a COF purchase, you must specify a recurring object containing the registration attribute and the necessary information. The Direct Debit SEPA method supports two types of COF purchases: U (autopurchase) and R (regular purchase). To register regular payments, the request must contain information about the frequency, amount, and beginning and end time of debits of funds. The full list of parameters that can be passed in the recurring object is presented in the COF purchase registration section.
5. If you need to have the payment form displayed with the Direct Debit SEPA method selected, set the force_payment_method parameter to directdebit-sepa.
6. Additionally, any other parameters available for working with Payment Page can be used (details).
7. After all target parameters are specified, generate a signature (details).

Thus, a correct request for opening the payment form using the Direct Debit SEPA method must contain the project identifier, basic payment information (identifier, amount, and currency code), customer and COF purchase information, as well as signature.

General information

When using Gate and the Direct Debit SEPA method, you can register COF purchases of two types:

• Regular purchase—regular automatic debits are carried out according to a schedule passed to the platform (details). In this case, automatic debiting is used, without additional actions on the part of the merchant.
• Autopurchase—debits are initiated by the web service by sending requests based on specified rules (details). In this case, to debit funds, each time a separate request is required.

At the same time, you can register a COF purchase of any of these types either with or without an initial debit of funds. Please note that for registration without the initial debit the directdebit payment type is used, and for registration with the first debit the purchase type is used.

To register a purchase through Gate by using the Direct Debit SEPA method, the merchant's web service is required to do the following:

1. Send a request with all the required parameters and signature to the ecommpay URL.
2. Receive an intermediate callback from the payment platform and redirect the customer to the Direct Debit SEPA service.
3. Receive the callback from the payment platform informing about the registration result.

To perform each debit of funds within an autopurchase the merchant's web service is required to send a request with all the required parameters and signature to the ecommpay URL and receive a callback from the payment platform informing abot the debit result.

Information about the formats of requests and callbacks used for processing payments by using the Direct Debit SEPA method via Gate is presented further in this section. General information about working with the Gate API is presented in Interaction concepts.

Request format for registration without the initial debit of funds

When registering a COF purchase without the initial debit, the directdebit payment type is used, within which the following types of operations can be performed: contract registration, recurring update (only when for regular purchases), recurring cancel (only for regular purchases). There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase registration requests by using the Direct Debit SEPA method:

1. To register each purchase, send a separate POST request to the /v2/payment/directdebit/sepa/contract/registration endpoint. This endpoint belongs to the group /v2/payment/directdebit/{payment_method}/contract/registration.
2. Each request must include the following objects and parameters:
   • Object general—general purchase information:
     • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
     • payment_id—payment identifier unique within the project
     • signature—request signature generated after all required parameters are specified (details—in the Signature generation and verification) (details)
   • Object payment—payment information:
     • currency—payment currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • Object customer—customer information:
     • id—customer identifier unique within the project
     • ip_address—customer IP address relevant for the initiated payment
     • first_name—customer first name
     • last_name—customer last name
3. To register a COF purchase, you must specify a recurring object containing the registration attribute and the necessary information. The Direct Debit SEPA method supports two types of COF purchases: U (autopurchase) and R (regular purchase). To register regular payments, the request must contain information about the frequency, amount, and beginning and end time of debits of funds. The full list of parameters that can be specified in the recurring object is presented in the Registering COF purchase section.
4. Additionally, any other parameters included in the specification can be used.

Thus, a correct purchase registration request by using the Direct Debit SEPA method must contain the project identifier, basic payment information (identifier and currency code), customer and COF purchase information, as well as signature.

Request format for registration with the initial debit of funds

When registering a COF purchase with the initial debit, the purchase payment type is used, within which the following types of operations can be performed: sale, reversal, refund, contract registration, recurring update (only for regular purchases) and recurring cancel (only for regular purchases). There are several things you need to consider when sending purchase registration requests by using the Direct Debit SEPA method:

1. To register each purchase, send a separate POST request to the /v2/payment/directdebit/sepa/sale endpoint. This endpoint belongs to the group /v2/payment/directdebit/{payment_method}/sale.
2. Each request must include the following objects and parameters:
   • Object general—general purchase information:
     • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
     • payment_id—payment identifier unique within the project
     • signature—request signature generated after all required parameters are specified (details—in the Signature generation and verification) (details)
   • Object payment—payment information:
     • amount—payment amount in the smallest currency unit
     • currency—payment currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format
   • Object customer—customer information:
     • id—customer identifier unique within the project
     • ip_address—customer IP address relevant for the initiated payment
     • first_name—customer first name
     • last_name—customer last name
3. To register a COF purchase, you must specify a recurring object containing the registration attribute and the necessary information. The Direct Debit SEPA method supports two types of COF purchases: U (autopurchase) and R (regular purchase). To register regular payments, the request must contain information about the frequency, amount, and beginning and end time of debits of funds. The full list of parameters that can be specified in the recurring object is presented in the Registering COF purchase section.
4. Additionally, any other parameters included in the specification can be used.

Thus, a correct purchase registration request by using the Direct Debit SEPA method must contain the project identifier, basic payment information (identifier, amount and currency code), customer and COF purchase information, as well as signature.

Formats of intermediate callbacks for customer redirection

Each payment made with the Direct Debit SEPA method requires redirection of customers from the merchant's web service to the Direct Debit SEPA service. To redirect a customer it is necessary to receive an intermediate callback from the payment platform and use the information included in the redirect_data object. The format of such callbacks is standard (details), and the following objects and parameters are included in the redirect_data object:

• body—object with data to be sent in the request body
• method—parameter specifying the HTTP method for sending the request (GET or POST)
• url—parameter containing a link for redirection

  "redirect_data": {
    "body": {},
    "method": "GET",
    "url": "https://www.example.com/pay"
  }

Callback format

The Direct Debit SEPA method uses the standard format for callbacks to deliver purchase results. For more information, see Callbacks.

The following is the example of a callback with information about a COF purchase without an initial debit of funds that has been registered in the 430716 project.

Useful links

The following articles can be useful when implementing purchases via Gate:

• Interaction concepts—about the interaction with the payment platform by using Gate.
• Signature generation and verification—about the procedure of generating and verifying signatures in requests and callbacks.
• Payment models and statuses—about the types, processing models, and possible statuses of supported payments and operations.
• Information of operations performing—about error and response codes that are used in the payment platform to record information about performing of operations.

General information

To perform a refund through Gate by using the Direct Debit SEPA method, send a request with all required parameters and signature to the ecommpay URL and receive a callback with the result. The full sequence and special aspects of refund performing are provided below.

Information about the formats of requests and callbacks used for performing refunds by using the Direct Debit SEPA method via Gate is presented further in this section. General information about working with the Gate API is presented in Interaction concepts.

Request format

There are several things you need to consider when sending refund requests by using the Direct Debit SEPA method:

1. To initiate each refund, send a separate POST request to the /v2/payment/refund endpoint.
2. Each request must include the following objects and parameters:
   • Object general—general refund information:
     • project_id—project identifier obtained from ecommpay during integration
     • payment_id—identifier of the payment that needs to be refundedpayment identifier
     • signature—request signature generated after all required parameters are specified (details—in the Signature generation and verification)
   • Object payment—refund information:
     • description—refund description or comment
     • amount—refund amount in the smallest currency unit (required for a partial refund)
     • currency—refund currency code in the ISO-4217 alpha-3 format (required for a partial refund)
   • Object customer—customer information:
     • ip_address—customer IP address relevant for the initiated refund
3. Additionally, any other parameters included in the specification can be used.

Thus, a correct refund request by using the Direct Debit SEPA method must contain the project and payment identifiers, description of the refund, the customer IP address, signature, and, if necessary, currency code and refund amount.

Callback format

The Direct Debit SEPA method uses the standard format for callbacks to deliver refund results. For more information, see Callbacks.

The following is the example of a callback with information about a 1.00 EUR refund made in the 59051 project.
