🧾Payment Collection Services

Different Payment Collection Services

Payment Collection Services involve the automated collection of payments from customers' bank accounts, typically through direct debit schemes such as SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) in Europe or Bacs Direct Debit in the UK. These services allow businesses to collect recurring payments like subscriptions or utility bills directly from customers' accounts with prior authorization. In contrast, Payment Initiation Services (PIS) facilitate the initiation of payments on behalf of the customer, typically for one-off transactions, by connecting to the customer's bank and instructing it to make a payment. While Payment Collection Services focus on recurring, pre-authorized debits, PIS are used for single, user-initiated transactions.

Payment Collection Services are currently under development! This part of the documentation is still subject to change and improve.
