What is SEPA?
Direct debit SEPA is one of the most popular payment methods for Germans alongside purchase by invoice. The Single European Payment Area (SEPA), a Europe-wide standard direct debit procedure, has significantly simplified cross-border direct debits. SEPA direct debits enable uniform payment transactions within the European payments area with 34 participating countries so that payments can be processed just as easily as at home. Trust in the SEPA-enabled payment modules of Novalnet AG, so that your international payment transactions also function smoothly and you can continuously increase your turnover.

Please note that some banks in countries outside the EU participate in the SEPA system, but this is on a bank-to-bank basis. If such a bank accepts SEPA direct debit bookings and if the country is neither a member of the EU nor of the EEA (European Economic Area), please note that submission of the BIC and the end customer address is mandatory (e.g. for Great Britain, Switzerland, Monaco and San Marino).

Payment API
The Payment API function performs all actions related to payments. The payment function mainly authorizes the payment details and can further capture payments immediately. When we say capture, it denotes that payment is processed successfully.
Authorize
As the function's name implies, Authorize performs a basic payment authorization. The details entered in the payment form is run through an authorization process to ensure their validity and payment details are verified for further processing

Return Debit Sepa
SEPA Direct Debit has a dispute process specially to reclaim funds.
In case of a scenario where the dispute takes place within eight weeks, then the customer is entitled to refunds with no questions asked.
However, if the dispute happens beyond eight weeks and within thirteen months, the customer could still dispute with his bank. Such disputes don’t guarantee refunds, yet shoppers will be entitled to a refund if the bank decides that the debit is unauthorized, customers will be entitled for a refund.
