How it works
Secure payments for your customers
Bank debits allow you to pull funds directly from your customer’s bank account for one-off or recurring payments. To initiate a bank debit, a customer provides their bank account details during checkout and gives you permission to debit the account by agreeing to a mandate. SEPA Direct Debit gives your buyers a secure option at checkout.

No-code UI options

For platforms
Through Connect, platforms and marketplaces can easily distribute SEPA Direct Debit with no work required by merchants anywhere in the world.
For one-off or recurring billing
Stripe Invoicing, Billing, and Checkout make it even easier to collect bank debits and hosted mandates reflect your payment terms, and debits are automatically initiated.
